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. 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).
