I have tested a Maxtor OneTouch 4 500Gb and a Maxtor OneTouch 2 200Gb. Both are unrecognized by the VGX.

The devices are detected by Windows CE 5.0 and a message sent by Windows is captured using a hook in aygshell.dll

[DllImport("aygshell.dll", SetLastError = true)]
internal static extern int SHChangeNotifyRegister(
IntPtr hwnd,
IntPtr pshcne);

The message received is this one:

DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL = 0x8000, //A device or piece of media has been inserted and is now available.

But the “\Hard disk” folder doesn’t show up as expected. I have also played with the following registry key to see if it could help fix this issue.

====================================================================
; USB re-enumeration pulse settings
; Values have a 10 second maximum.
; Zero duration removes pulse
;====================================================================

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\SMI501USB]
"USB_Enumeration_Pulse_Startup_Delay"=dword:3e8 ;1 second
"USB_Enumeration_Pulse_Wake_Delay"=dword:3e8 ;1 second
"USB_Enumeration_Pulse_Duration"=dword:2710 ;10 seconds, 0 means no pulse ß ß

We are not targeting specifically Maxtor drives, but all kind of external USB drive. So I wonder if you know about a list of supported drive for both Windows CE 5.0 and your VGX board.

Also, any insights on how to fix this issue would be appreciated.
