Do you have an external reader? If not use ActiveSync: double clck on "My Computer", "Mobile Device", "My Pocket PC", "CF Card", and dump your data there...

If you need more help, reply here...

It starts you off there, but you can go "out" of it from within the Explorer in ActiveSync. There should be an icon at the top that says "Device" or something like that. Double-clicking that will get you to the "real root".

I believe you speak of the mystical "ROM"? Not very hidden. :)

[Xtreme23]

ha yeah i guess so not hidden .. but can u actually store stuff there too?

oh and anything u know when u go to install a game or a new software how can you have install it on to the CF card verse the main storage on the Axim.. but i don't recall any options of where u want to install the game besides the PC then it sync the installationi to ur PDA.

[Rirath]

The rom is fine to store stuff in, I was quite surprised when I found it was usable too. I've heard anything in rom will survive a hard reset, not sure.

To install to a CF card, or the ROM, when installing a program will ask you "do you want to install to the default location?" say no. Select CF card or Built in Storage for ROM. Main Location is RAM.

You can also transfer music to your card thru WMP. Go to copy music to cd or device. You will find a drop down that lists the various storage places listed for you to choose from.

I was just experimenting with that the other day - I noticed that it actually changed some of my file names, and took out the artists' names from the file names. It was kind of annoying...anybody else notice this?
