I don't know of any missing components that could cause the problem. The
only other solution that comes to mind is mounting and unmounting the
volume. There is a realted article for HORM on MSDN that provides some
insight to this:
Dismounting Volumes in a Hibernate Once/Resume Many Configuration
http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/usewinemb/xp/techrsrcxp/techarticles/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnxpesp2/html/HORMDismountingVolumesInHibernateOnceResumeManyConfiguration.asp
You might be able to mount the drive when the app is ready to use it.

Sean,
Haven't seen any solutions to it. I posted this question a while ago here
as well. I've been researching since, and can't find a way to fix it.
At this point, we are stuck with a fixed ide connection. I had one
solution
in mind, but don't know how to do it. Defer the Windows built-in scan for
IDE drives (somehow) and then when my application is ready, do my own
manual
Windows scan for IDE drives to rebuild the current device list. Is there
any
way to do that?
The other possibility is that I'm missing some extra component in my load
that will make this work correctly. Are there any key components that
would
not be automatically included by the dependencies? Our only limitation is
that we aren't supposed to use NTFS.

Maybe there is a different solution: is it possible to place card B in a
PnP-CF slot and not an IDE slot?

Hello all,
I have an interesting issue. I'm running a custom shell application on
XPe
with the EWF enabled. This is a requirement. We have two CompactFlash
cards
(A and B)loaded as fixed drives on the IDE bus. We boot off of A. Our
software looks for a file D:\File that would be on card B. We have two
major
problems:
1. If I don't seal the image with B inserted, then inserting the card
on a
subsequent boot causes the boot time to be significantly longer.
2. If I seal the image with B inserted, then the boot time is great.
But
if
at any point I replace B with another model of B (Extreme III instead
of
Industrial), the system will not only take longer to boot, but my
software
will not recognize the existence of a D: drive.
We can deal with the longer boot time, but it is important that we can
put
any compactflash card in B and have the system recognize it. Is there
a
problem with our setup, or is there maybe some way I can force XPe to
find
D
when I boot?
Thanks for your help, I'm totally stuck here.
