Hi All,

I'm new to the forums here so please forgive me if this question's been asked before although I can't find the answer from looking through past posts.

I have a Dell Axim X5 running Pocket PC (sometimes known as Windows Mobile) 2003 v 4.20.1081 (Build 13100 - NOT SE). I have just purchased a Magicstor 2.2GB CF Microdrive only to find that despite it spinning up, the X5 does not display it as a drive in File Explorer.

I have tried the microdrive in a collegue's Axim X5 running Pocket PC 2002 and it's fine. It also works fine under Windows Mobile 2003 SE on another collegues Axim X50v.

I have installed the Dell Compact Flash driver update (released Aug 2004) but the microdrive still isn't recognised.

Can anyone help me at all?

All suggestions gratefully received!!

Thank you in advance,

Andrew
