Ok, here is the deal. My Magicstor 2.2GB microdrive came today. I was so excited. I opened it up, and popped it into my Axim. I heard the drive start up, but my Axim froze! After about 10 sec., the drive stopped spinning, and I could use my Ax again. However, I can't find my microdrive anywhere. I looked under Start/Settings/System/Memory/StorageCard, but all I can find is the Built in Storage, and my SD card. I checked under File Explorer, and it isn't there either.

So then I tried it in my laptop with the pcmcia to CF adaptor. It showed up fine, no problems. It was formatted as FAT. So I reformatted it as FAT32. I even put a movie on it. It works fine in my computer. Then I put it in my Axim again, and the same thing happened. It started up, froze for 10 sec. or so while the drive was running, then doesn't find it. I have tried soft resetting it with the drive in, and with it out. Nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.
