View Full Version : ActiveSync say my 32mb CF card is full - it isn't!

When installing apps to my CF-Card, ActiveSync always tells me the card is out of space sometime during the install, even though it's a 32mb card and there's about 30mb left!
We're only talking about 2-4mb apps here, so what's going on? :x

ActiveSync doesn't seem to be able to figure out how much space is on the card either, it says "Space available: (unavailable)" when you select it as a destination for the app. This may be normal though, I don't know.

I've tried manually copying the CAB files to the card, which works, but I don't get the choice of installing the app on my CF-Card then, they always install to internal memory. :x

I've even tried reformatting the card in every FAT / cluster size combination possible with CNetX Flash Format.

I'm using a Fujitsu-Seimens Pocket LOOX, by the way, any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

Mike :D

Have you formatted the card via a card reader? I had this problem after doing so... I used Storage Tools on the Pocket PC to remormat and all was ok afterwards. I also retruned my card reader and bought a decent one!
