Hello Sir

I'm very interested in what you said about "...figured out how to support a
removable usb memory stick under CE, and it works ok..."

I had some problems when I tried to identify USB memory stick under
WinCE420. I added system features like SYSGEN_USB_STORAGE and USB Host
Support but still can't successfully made it work.

When I plugged the disk in, I got a message from usbdisk6.dll "Not loading a
UpperDriver since partition manager exists" then usbmsc.dll called
USBDeviceAttach. That means the disk driver wasn't loaded.

Can you give me some advice?
Thank you very much!
