Folders created on the HDD are not persistence across reboots.

I'm booting my box with CF and there is a HDD (We have geodied hence the
registry geoide.reg) which is detected as 'Disk' and the CF has been
detected as 'Disk1'. Everything is well and good. But if I create any
directory or files on 'Disk' that is HDD it is not persistent after I
reboot the box. What changes I have to make in the registry to solve
this issue ?

Here are my registry settings:-

I don't believe you, sorry. I see no sign that Disk1 is definitely the disk
that you're talking about. Windows CE doesn't randomly delete folders from
hard disks... If you've actually created a folder on a hard disk and you
can see it during one boot, then, unless the disk is being reformatted,
mounted under a different name the next time, or unless some code running on
the system that is *not* from Microsoft is deleting the folder, it's still
there the next time.

But it is happening ! Here are the steps.

1. I boot my mahine with wince 5.0 using CF.
2. Hard disk and CF are detected and they are shown with the icons 'Hard
Disk' (HDD) and 'Hard Disk2' (CF, verified the contents).
3. I create a 'New Folder' inside 'Hard Disk' and even copy a huge file
of 25MB into this new folder.
4. I reboot the machine
5. And boot the machine using the CF again, see two icons for 'Hard
Disk' and 'Hard Disk2' but 'Hard Disk' done not contain the folder as
well as the huge file i had copied. 'Hard Disk2' is the CF contents
which are intact.
6. I insert a USB stick and that was seen as 'Hard Disk3' in the next
boot. I created a new folder on this mount and copied the same huge file
and rebooted the system.
7. After the machine boots I can see 'Hard Disk', 'Hard Disk2' and 'Hard
Disk3' and there is no new folder inside 'Hard Disk' but all are still
present in "Hard Disk3' (USB stick) after roobing.

OS- Wince 5.0
Hard Disk = FATFS (HDD)
Hard Disk2 = CF
Hard Disk 3 = USB Stick

So is there any problem with the registery keys...

Naming of devices on Windows CE does matter when you plugin USB Storage
or if you boot with. On my system if USB Stick was present during boot, then
"Hard Disk" mount is USB Stick and "Hard Disk2" is HDD. I expect that this
mislead you.

are you able to see the folder if you grab the hard disk from the CE machine
and connect to a PC before set 4?
