After much searching I finally sourced a SanDisk pcmcia flash card
(SDP3BI-256-201-80) that is apparently meant to be configured as a fixed
disk by default. I was quite dissapointed to find that when I put it in my
desktop xp machine it still appears as a removable disk. (And I can't create
multiple partitions for use with EWF.)

I've also tried 'ATCFWCHG /P /F' after booting into dos from the card
itself. The utility says 'pass', but the result under xp is the same.

Is there something I'm missing here? Do I need to do the partitioning from
within an XPe environment?
(I don't see why it would be any different, however I've got no other ideas
of what could be wrong.)

BTW: How is this normally handled in a production environment? It seems like
a kludge to have to manually partition, possibly run bootprep and then copy
the image. Can anyone recommend software to create/copy an entire disk image
to a pcmcia card under xp? (Preferably through a usb card reader, but I'd
settle for laptop pcmcia support.)
