Ahh, I see.

Does this help?

Question:

Do you mean that "erase disk" was a context menu option for a *desktop
icon* in GNOME 2?

Are you right-clicking the *launcher* icon or the *desktop* icon?

I would not expect this to work from the launcher, no. But from the
desktop, if it used to before, perhaps yes. The desktop is managed by
Nautilus; the launcher is not.

If you do not have desktop icons, the easiest way to re-enable them
(that I know of) is to install "Unity Tweak Tool" from the
repositories. Then it is under System|Desktop icons.

Do this, reboot if necessary, insert a disk and then try
right-clicking on the disk's icon. I don't know if this will do what
you want, but it sounds like it might be closer.
