I want the following script to work without the Finder asking me if I really want to remove this disk.

tell application "Finder"
move disk "Backup" to trash
end tell

It has something to do with "[asking boolean] -- Specifies whether or not to present a dialog to confirm putting this item away." but I do not know how to implement this in my script. How do I do that?

Regards,
Rob

You should try this one instead:

tell application "Finder"
put away disk "Backup"
end tell

I tried that too but the Finder still asks if I'm sure that I want to remove the disk from the desktop. It's this dialog I want to get rid off.

Please help!

What's your Mac OS version. I use Mac OS 9.1 and I don't have this dialog box (and I think I didn't have it with Mac OS 9.0.4 either).
Anyway, try this:

tell application "Finder"
put away disk "Mihrien" without asking
end tell
