Do you always do what Bill Gates tells you? <grin>
I seldom makes any difference in my experience whether you click Mr
Gates little icon thingy or not. However, I will not swear that there is
not somewhere out there some device that will not self destruct if you
don't.

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.
