More information could be helpful (i.e., your hardware configuration...). I'm just going on my own experience here - I have one, older card reader that mounts only when there's a card in it when I plug it in, and I unplug the reader before unplugging the card, too (usually after unmounting it, too). Every once in a while, I've had similar problems with my flash drives, but not recently. Sorry I wasn't more help - anyone else? mhr
