Re: Pagefile.sys on PCMCIA I(PC-CARD) Drive

If "removable" vs. "fixed" turns out to be the problem, you might look
at your partition structure. How is the PC card laid out? If
possible, you should make it one big primary partition, formatted NTFS.
I had no end of trouble trying to run on SD cards that shipped with
one logical drive on an extended partition, with no primary. That's
how I guess most "removable" media ships; you want to make sure it's
formatted as though it were fixed. Now, if Windows is looking directly
at the media type (this is reported by the drive itself; I had a real
bitch of a time trying to change the way that works), and refusing
based on that.... well, I guess you can always write your own hardware
abstraction layer. Me, I'd look into getting some new hardware. We
wound up using Transcend DOMs (Disk on Module), and we couldn't be
happier with the result.
