Nobody forced you to install the extra software and windows would
happily
see the memory card when inserted and offload the contents etc. Don't
blame the availability of application software for your inability to
comprehend its necessity. Sorry but there's truly nothing that's idiot
proof.




I have been advised never to use the CF card as a drive. Some of the
reasons
given were:
It messes up the numbering system in the camera;
Could lead to premature card failure.

I don't know if this is true, but it seems like a conservative rule to
follow.

It won't mess up the numbering, even using multiple cards.

As long as you just use it for storage and don't set it up where it's
being
constantly written to, like for Windows pagefile it will have a long and
useful life. Not using it like the storage drive it is(IDE) just makes
your
life a little harder. IMHO.



Here is another take on the subject.
