This may be a silly question, but have you tried to ignore the
"safely..." messages all together?
Eg. with an USB-drive, just rip it out, and replace it with another...

Subject: Re: Semi-OT: Transferring Image Files to Windows PC
Thanks, Jostein and John. I am using Windows XP.
I use the little green arrow in the Taskbar, labeled "Safely Remove
Hardware." I have found that if I doesn't use that, Windows scolds
me. I have the issue with card readers, thumbdrives, and the
external 250 GB drive I can use on either Firewire or USB.
If I remove a CF card (or any of these) through the "Safely Remove
Hardware" method, I cannot then insert a new card (or re-insert the
thumbdrive or turn the external hard drive back on) without
rebooting. Windows just won't recognize it.
This is mainly an issue when I have several CF cards worth of images
to transfer.
Appreciate any advice. I do believe there is a solution to this.
Joe
