SD Card and Vista
When unplugging and then replugging the cybook with an SD card installed, Vista always complained that the SD drive seemed to be corrupt and needed to be fixed.

What I failed to do is to "eject" the SD card properly, thinking that the cybook would manage the SD card.

If you eject the card (rightclick on the drive) then you will not have any problems.

So it can happen that easily. I thought that Windows flushed the buffers more often than Linux so you could mostly get away with not doing the eject (that is what Windows users have said to me). This is more support for the theory that a lot of the problem with bookmarks and configuration not being saved is caused by not ejecting the SD cards.

In Windows you can configure how you want your SD cards to work, Buffered or safe mode.

How do you specify the safe mode? Thanks.

Well it seems that some drivers do not support it. but it can be found in the Hardware Device manager properties for the proposed device. If there is a Policies tab it will have two settings.

1. Optimize for quick removal - allows disconnect without using the dismount icon
2. Optimize for performance - uses the cache and needs a dismount.

All the same, I still prefer to play safe and use "Safely Remove Hardware". I have my USB flash drive set to "Optimise for quick removal" which - in theory - means that it should never have any write operations pending, but still, after I've copied a lot of files to it, when I do a "Remove Hardware" on it, the activity light on it flashes madly for a few seconds. I just don't trust that setting; I think it's far safer to always do it the safe way.
