Accessing memory cards for Software Install

When I first added a 1GB SD card and 2GB Compact Flash card to my iPAQ 2415
Active Sync would let me install to these devices.

When I go to Add Programs from Active Sync and UNCHECK install in default
directory it shows me alternative storage locations - but for all except the
main device memory it shows no available storage (including iPAQ storage - a
small bit of extra memory built into the device).

Now when I try to install to them it shows no storage space - in fact there
are about 800 MB.

I know the Pocket PC cannot address more than 4GB of memory - which is why I
did not buy a 2GB SD card.

How can I fix this problem. I managed to install once on these extra
cards - but then my device lost all its power and I lost things - they are
actually still on the storage cards - but I want to reinstall them so the
registry or whatever else needs updating is OK.

Would recommend that you consider switching from activesync install to
CAB install... there are a couple of issues, but, on the whole, using a
cabinstaller is much simpler as well as allowing a lot of flexibility
when mobile to uninstall and install almost any app.
