I test a lot of potentially dangerous programs on my SE with an
internal HD20. (i.e. I download a lot of goodies) 
How can I "unmount" the HD so I can test a program in
an insulated environment without fear of infecting all of my files
on it? (God forbid the virus should reach a backup of the hd!)

Thanks a lot!
