Plugging and Unplugging SD Card

I have an SD card and windows will find it if I plug it in. To unplug it, I have to click this thing in the sys tray and stop the device. This prevents windows from scolding me when I unplug it. The problem is that when I plug it back in, windows no longer sees it. I'm sure there is a way around this, but I don't know what that is. By the way, it is an internal 4-in-1 USB style card reader.
 
You're probably telling Windows to eject the card READER, not just the card itself. Klick "Eject" on the drive letter icon instead.
 
And, make sure that the Policies option in Device/Manager/item/properties is set for "Optimize for quick removal" and not "Performance."
 
Doesn't matter for the problem ... it just changes from buffered writes to immediate ones. Buffered is faster, and (for flash media) extends the card's lifetime when there's lots of write traffic. The drawback is, ejecting the card might take longer since the buffers need to be actually written to the card.
