Hi folks, Just doing quick searches on Google. So far the results suggests that it is in fact the hardware that is causing the problem. The actual procedure of handling erase and copy on flash devices is somewhat hard for many users to understand... Anyone help me, please.. One thing that needs clarification: Windows CE 6 stores all data on Flash. Since Flash is slower than RAM and uses blocks to store data, it would be natural to see slowness when copying large files, especially over six hundred files at once. One simple test could be copying same files and folder over and over again to different folders on the same storage medium - in other words, carrying out backup procedure multiple times on same data, and noting the pattern. Does the file copy operation gets slower? Does it give you some errors about access denial of certain blocks (unlikely)? Then we have a hardware problem (if it does not occur on the mPower, then it is indeed the hardware, not software; although software counts, the problem would have been caused by the shift of storage from RAM to flash and the effects that it has on large file copy operations, such as backing up files). Hope it was simple enough for beginners to understand... Again sorry for some difficult words... Cheers, Joseph P.S. I'm considering changing my major after not doing well on my CS midterm...
