I only remove my card when I want to use the card reader to add something to it or use the computer to do a lot of batch things. I have seen this message only a few times in three years with the BN and not at all in the past nine months.

Mine does it quite frequently and that was never when the problems happened. It always seems to happen either at power on or after a reset.

One question about this and the Braillenote sleep mode. Say I am using the Braillenote, card incerted, and I do not touch the Braillenote for ten minutes. The Braillenote goes into sleep mode. Should I remove the compact flash disk prior to waking up the Braillenote?
