Hello to all,
I've bought a CF/etc.. card reader, which sits into a floppy drive slot.
Really nice to have an internal card reader, I thought. But then I
that the fact that it is internal has put me in big trouble, since when I
need to remove the CF card, I do it in the safe way, i.e. clicking on the
tray icon "Stop USB Mass Storage Device".
Well, then the only way to get another card recognized is either a reboot
or disconnecting and reconnecting the physical cable. The latter is not
possible unless I open and close the PC each time.. the former is not
possible either, since I work with a lot of applications opened and the
rare times I remove power to the PC I put it in hybernation before. For
me rebooting each time I need to change CF would be even more impractical
than having to open and close the PC to disconnect/reconnect the cable.
Also, I got twice the problem, since (because I reboot very rarely) I also
have a USB to IDE interface, handy because it's hot plug, and I also got
now an internal deck I'd like to use for HD removability with hot plug.
I'm sincerely astonished that in 2006 one HAS TO unplug and replug a cable
in order to get recognized again a device.
Is there any software solution to my problem? Even if complex to use.
Thanks a lot,
A.Z.
Rather than clicking "Stop USB Mass Storage Device", you
can probably use the disable/enable function of devcon.exe.
I haven't tested this much so you may need to try it for
yourself with your compact flash device. You can get
devcon.exe from here:
