This is in the category of P.A.T. (Petty Annoyances and Tedium) but I
still 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).
Both on the desktop and in dmesg. Here is the relavent info from dmesg:

Looks like it is mounted twice?
