Ok, If I initiate a direct download from GEMS to the R6 unit, everything works according to plan ie: Download election (packed) to the card, then remove the card, place it in another R6, that R6 then unpacks the election, and loads it properly.

> Precisely. Does it happen if you do the exact same download proceedure to R6, as opposed to downloading to NT/W2K. Pull the card out of R6 when it asks "do you want to download another", and put it in another R6.

If I pull the card when the Ballot station asks me "Do you want to Download another?" I move the card to either another Win 2000 machine or into an R6 unit, the unit asks me if I want to Download an election. At this point, the R6, or Win 2000 machine has deleted the Election that was on there.

Problem with this setup is, I can only burn 1 card, since the OS crashes after that. NT does not do well with hot swapping anything. When I attempt the same procedure with a windows 2000 machine, I can theoretically hot swap the PCMCIA card, if I make sure I wait the required 10-20 seconds for the machine to realize that I pulled the card, and it issue's me a dialog box that informs me of this. I then have to click the OK button to acknowledge to the system that I know I have removed the card, then I can insert a new blank card to continue burning my PCMCIA cards. That is all fine and dandy, but another problem arises, after burning the PCMCIA card, I them proceed casually over to the R6 unit, and insert the card, I then get the Download Election Dialog box, not the loading election. I have looked at the contents of the PCMCIA card, and have not seen any differences. The election will not load, and yes, I have tried this a few times with the same results.
