You're wrong on that. You still have to eject the reader or any other device for that matter before just pulling the plug. You screwed up the reader by not doing so.
It's been a while since I've used XP so I had to look it up but you do have to eject/Safely Remove Hardware and here's a Microsoft link to show you how.

And here's a YouTube video showing how to add them to the taskbar

Or barring any of that, just go to Windows Explorer, find the drive, right click and select eject as l_macd already stated.
