This doesn't happen with flash drives though. I can be viewing their contents and eject them with no ill effects. After the drive is ejected, the view will be replaced with all mounted devices.</p> You were right, the finder only disappears when I’m viewing the hard drive in the dock.

I think this needs a bit more detail. if, say, I am ejecting a drive (i.e. a memory card) from my mac while having that very drive active as a finder window, then it vanishes. if the active drive in the finder is something else (the mac's hdd) then only the ejected drive will vanish (from the the list) but the finder won't close. can you please describe which of the above happens, if any? thanks!</p> “the whole finder would vanish”.
