    For some reason, my m17 is "on and off" when it comes to recognizing my creative soundblaster x fi notebook. By that I mean it reads it and recognizes it, for a second, then ejects it and this repeats over and over? I tested the card with other notebook and it is recognized normally? Any ideas?

    Did you follow the instructions and install the software prior to inserting the ExpressCard into the slot? My X-Fi Notebook ExpressCard works fine.
