Posted August 31, 200816 yr Another "feature" of Vista, unseen in W2000 and before: Formatting the partition on my CompactFlash card produces 6 reserved sectors, that means the boot sector (ok) and 5 additional sectors (bad). Microsoft Windows CE 2.0 hates every FAT system having more than the usual 1 reserved (boot) sector and only offers to format the card itself. This is my good old Casio A-20 handheld. So far ... the WinCE 2.0 writes only a minimally filled boot sector, no text like "FAT" in there. While Vista (and W2000) can access files on such a volume (partition), it is unable to check the file system because the check does not detect it as FAT. Excellent compatibility!
