Hello,
I'm trying to use a 340MB Microdrive on a MobilePro 770, which is HPC/Pro
(CE 2.11
). I tried to download the updated atadisk.dll from Hitachi site, but got no success. I followed the instructions on CESD-H-0021, which seems the same as the ones on Hitachi site, but same problem. The only difference is that I can't use ActiveSync, so I've downloaded the atadisk.dll using a dial-up connection
(the one in mips4300, which seems to be the correct one for VR4121
) and copied it over the old atadisk.dll on \Windows folder using Total Commander. Reset, and nothing. MP770 shows a Storage Card folder, but it's empty, and right after inserting it, I get the following message:
"Would you like the system to format the Storage Card folder so that the system can use it? Yes/No".
The drive is already formated, I can read it fine in a Jornada 720 or my PC. If I select the option to format, I get the following message:
"There was an error verifying a write operation to sector 0. The storage card may be write protected, faulty or unsupported
(error code 31
). Do you want to ignore this error? Yes / No"
Any comments/ideas/tips on this are very appreciated!
Thanks,
Claudio Neves
Update: Well, on this page:
http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/mddwnld.htm Hitachi lists the VR4121 as MIPS4300, but on Control Panel / System it says only MIPS4000. I've tried both MIPS4000 and MIPS4300 atadisk.dll and still no success.
