I did that once with a 1/2 full 1 gig CF card. When the card was
reinserted in the camera it could hold only 40 instead of the 78 or so
PEF files it could normally hold. The space was freed up after
re-formating the card in the camera.

Eg. with an USB-drive, just rip it out, and replace it with another...

Subject: Re: Semi-OT: Transferring Image Files to Windows PC
Thanks, Jostein and John. I am using Windows XP.
I use the little green arrow in the Taskbar, labeled "Safely Remove
Hardware." I have found that if I doesn't use that, Windows scolds
me. I have the issue with card readers, thumbdrives, and the external
250 GB drive I can use on either Firewire or USB.
If I remove a CF card (or any of these) through the "Safely Remove
Hardware" method, I cannot then insert a new card (or re-insert the
thumbdrive or turn the external hard drive back on) without
rebooting. Windows just won't recognize it.
This is mainly an issue when I have several CF cards worth of images
to transfer.
Appreciate any advice. I do believe there is a solution to this.
Joe
