LogicLoader requires a CompactFlash card to be formatted with a primary partition. Formatting the card from within Windows CE may create an extended partition, thereby making the card unrecognizable to LogicLoader.

If a CompactFlash card has already been formatted with an extended partition, it will not be recognized by LogicLoader the next time the SOM is reset. To reformat the CompactFlash card with a primary partition, use a program that allows the partition type to be controlled. The "fdisk" utility has this feature, as does a free tool available from Hewlett-Packard called the "Windows-based Format Utility for HP Drive Key or DiskOnKey USB Device" is available at the following link:

Important Note: If this link is no longer valid doing a search for "Windows-based Format Utility for HP Drive Key or DiskOnKey USB Device" in an online search engine will turn up a valid link to HP's website where the file will be available for download.

This tool will reformat the CompactFlash card to have a primary partition and LogicLoader will recognize the CompactFlash card.
