Note to everybody who's considering picking up a SanDisk USB 2.0 6-in-1 device (or any kind of external media reader, for that matter): sometimes, it'll wipe out the data on your CompactFlash without warning – and may never be able to read that particular card again. I've had similar headaches with FireWire hardware, too – so I guess I shouldn't blame the bus. Still, it's within hand's reach – and about to go out the Windows. It probably boils down to a driver problem in XP. Surprised?
