Yes, you need drivers. You can use Google to see if you can find specific drivers for this card for Windows Mobile 2003 (WM03=version 4.20 you reported). A quick search gave several possibilities but I didn't look too closely.

It's possible the Intersil reference drivers will work with this card (if it has a Prism chipset, which many CF cards do). These drivers are most easily installed with sHARD>>'s Perfect Prism utility.

If the driver file is a '*.cab,' (like Perfect Prism) you copy it to a temporary folder on the PPC and execute the file from a file explorer. If it is an '*.exe,' you generally execute it on the PC while the PPC is connected by ActiveSync.
