OK, would make some sense now. Thanks George.I'm working on a card currently but expect I'll find an "eject" option when I look for one. <Smiles>

Hi Carol, Yes, "Eject" sounds an odd word for a device that cannot actually spit the cards physically out of the drive, but what can I say?

That would work in some devices but what about CF cards? -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 11:41 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: A PROBLEM WITH USB STORAGE DEVICEHi Carol, Safely remove Hardware is doing exactly what it says onthetin. It is for totally removing the device. That said, if you then physically remove it, wait a second or two, and plug it back in, it should be there, but........ What you should be using is "Eject Card" or something similar. Unfortunately I don't have my own card reader handy to go through the precise details, but from My Computer, if you right click on the drive, the optionshouldbe there. If it does happen to be writing to the deviceatthe time, you will get a warning message. George. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of CarolPearsonSent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 11:12 AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: A PROBLEM WITH USB STORAGE DEVICE Yep, but I'm having to reboot all the time to start offthestorage device once again ...

Do you gothroughthe steps: 1safely remove hardware, 2 select the device from thelist, 3 tab to stopdevice and then make sure that windows has given youthemessage that itis safe to remove the device. sometimes I have noticed that windows says it is unableto remove thedevice and gives an ok button. but repeating theprocessworks. I thinkthis is down to a program in windows stil accessing thehard drive.HTH Yusuf----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Pearson" <carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>To: "Access UK Mailing List" <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2007 8:20 PM Subject: [access-uk] A PROBLEM WITH USB STORAGE DEVICEHi All, Forgive me if you've seen this but I had no repliesandwonderedwhether the original message got through. Any helpwould be muchappreciated. I'm having a problem with my USB storage device, builtinto thecomputer, in that, once I've stopped a device to take out a CF card(or similar), Ithen cannot insert another card of the same type and getthedevice goingagain. This also applies to my stand-alone USB ports and anexternal cardreader I sometimes use. My only way forward seems to be toreboot. As I amfrequently wanting to use various cards, this issomewhat annoying, tosay the least ... I don't recall that these ports always worked likethisand wonder ifsomething has changed (with regard to MS Serviceswhichmay have becometurned off (perhaps as various software has beenintroduced orupgraded) that are needed for my USB's to function correctly. I haven't knowingly played with any Services and,before doing so,would value any thoughts as to whether a manual change madeby me will solvethe problem. If you have any suggestions, I look forwardto hearing fromyou.
