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.

Personally, I just copy everything off the card, pull it without using any of the Windows software and reformat in the camera. Never had a problem yet.

Using XP and both CF and SD cards in the built-in reader on my PC.
