Fix for Problems That Are Related to File Systems (826881)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows CE .NET 4.2

SYMPTOMS

The update that this article describes resolves the following issues:
  • When you have a Secure Digital (SD) card, a Multi-Media Card (MMC) card, or a SmartMedia card that is formatted with the NTFS file system, and you insert the card in a Windows CE device, the card may be automatically re-formatted to file allocation table (FAT) format without warning.
  • When an OEM-defined input/output control (IOCTL) routine for flash media drivers is called from the flash abstraction layer, a deadlock may occur, and the device may stop responding (hang).
  • When you use the BootPart component, the system may stop responding (hang).
  • When you specify a directory string that ends with a backslash character (\), the CreateDirectory function does not work on the FAT file system.
