CF Storage Card Question (4.2 .Net / Sandgate)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have a problem with getting a SanDisk Compact Flash storage card to work
with a Sandgate / PXA255 development system under Win CE 4.2 .Net. As far
as I can tell the block driver ATADISK is loaded just fine (judging by the
"Active" registry entry) and the PCMCIA driver does not have any trouble
talking to the hardware. Since I have only one socket on the Sandgate board
I had to download the image through the Ethernet card then remove it and
plug in the storage card to test functionality until I get my actual
development system. The following debug output (I eliminated the
CardGetNextTupple, etc output for brevity) occurs when I insert the Sandisk
card. I cranked up the debug zones in the PCMCIA, Atadisk and Fatfsd
drivers and the Storage Manager code. I expected to be able to explore the
Storage Card directory from ActiveSync but am unable to see it even after
waiting for 30 seconds.

My registry entries are at the bottom. Since I use the persistant storage
of my registry the project.reg is not applicable. I think that it has
something to do with the partition table entries. Also I did not see where
Storage Manager loaded the fatfsd.dll. It does not show up under the Remote
Process Viewer (I expected to see it as a thread under the filesys.exe
process) The fatfsd.dll would have been loaded by the Atadisk block driver
if Storage Manager was not there. I am fairly sure that Storage Manager is
a requirement of the FAT File System.

I modified the ATADISK driver to use 3.3 volts instead of the 5.0 volts
because that is all the Sandgate board supports. The SanDisk card supports
both 3.3 and 5 volts.

This is my debug output:
