would like to know why it is happening. That knowledge should tell me how to
fix the problem.
My system is Lenny 5.02, but the same problem exists on an old Fedora Core 3
system, so it is not a Debian problem, per se.
I just bought a 3 pack of Sandisk Cruzers (4Gb). When I insert any of them
into a USB port, the system recognizes it as a CD drive.
By "the system", do you mean lines in dmesg, or the icon on your
desktop?
Working around this
is easy, but what is causing the system to mis-identify the Cruzer? The only
things on the cruzer are the files that automatically run under windows
("autorun.inf, LaunchU3.exe" which put a different way of unounting the
device on the screen, and a System subdirectory and a Documents
subdirectory).
