Hi Steve,

Just had a look at the help, it says that my platform needs to be a ROM-only
file system in order to do what you said. It says: "An addition to the
ROM-only file system component allows an external file system to be mounted
as the root of the entire file system.". However, my platform is a RAM and
ROM File system. If i make it a ROM-only file system, would that allow me to
install SQL CE when deploying my C# application?

Also, i'm not quite sure exactly what "<Your File System>" means in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\<Your File System>]
    "MountFlags"=dword:C

What am i supposed to type there?

Another question, if i do all this, when i run an app, will it run under the
device's RAM or under the Hard Disk (which is actually a DiskOnModule)?

Thanks.

Michael--J.
