Hi Daveed, when the unit is switched on, the operating system, Windows CE, performs a quick scandisk function on any card inserted. We have found that on some occasions, that can lead to data loss, so we suggest that people not have cards in the unit when they power it on in order to minimise the risk of data loss.
