    hello and thank you for looking at my post!
    i have a median ppc250.
    what iam having problems with is that when iam transferring files from my pc to my pocket PC,
    the way it happens now, is that i plug my pocket PC to my Pc using usb cable, then Microsoft active sync pops up,
    i use explore and copy a file i wanna transfer, and paste in the storage card in the pocket PC,
    but with active sync it takes ages, i switched the convert files off, but it still takes longer!!!!!
    what i wanna do is how i used to do it (with this same pocket PC)
    i just used to plug it in then go to my Computer
    and it would be there as removable storage, but now its there under mobile device,
    how do i set my pocket PC back to removable storage, not mobile device,
    i dint like active sync, can i make it go back the way it was please?
    it was far essayer just to drag and drop files,
    active sync just takes to long,
    thank you any help will be greatly approached

    I have a Motorola Q., Had a XV6700 PPC, so I'm not real familiar with your device, however, in this situation it should be the same.
    If your linked up via Data Cable, it will show up as the Mobile Device, however if you do ( like I do ) insert your Card into the Reader, then into your USB Mobile Mate, providing you have one, then plug it into your 2.0 USB Port, it will THEN show up as Removeable Storage where you can either Right click on the Compatible idem you want on your Card, and send it to the Removeable Storage ( your card ), in "My Computer" or you can Highlight the idem, select the link in the Left Column, "Copy to" or "Move to" and A small window will open, showing all your linked Drives, Sections, Folders, etc., Click on the +'s accordinly to Expand the "Tree", then Click on the Removable Storage link, near the "C" Drive, and click the OK button, and it will / Should Copy or Move your idem to your Card, showing a Progrestion Window depending on how big the File is. Small files won't show the Transfer in progress, Larger Files will show the Transfer.
    When done you can allways go and open it to verify it's there. Good luck !
