I tested this on an ordinary system, and when you exit the Fixit prompt, it ejects the disk. This was happening in the VM, only I didn't realize it because the CD-ROM was being emulated. When it came time to mount the disk a second time, the disk wasn't there, and so that's why it was complaining. James
