If you have a simple answer to this it would be great!!!

We have ATMs installed that use Windows CE. Our desktop
office PC equipment uses Windows 2000. The ATM Windows CE
machines offer the use of the removable storage USB Drive
to capture data from the ATM and for use on our desktop
office PCs. We tell the ATM to download the data to the
USB drive, which it indicates it does.

The problem is that either the Window CE machine are not
writing the data to the USB drive or our desktop PCs can't
read the CE format. Either way, I see no data or space
used on the USB Drive.

A couple things I suspect, but can't yet prove yet ...

1) we need to set the current directory on the ATM to the
USB drive before downloading the data.

2) we need some kind of Windows 2000 software to read the
CE created USB Drive files.

3) a combination of the above.

If you have some ideas, please email me.

There should not be a difference between the data formats between
Windows 2000 and Windows CE. For example I am able to format a CF card
(it gets formatted FAT 16) on a CE device, write files to it and put it
in a USB CF reader on Windows 2000 and read the files fine. So I suspect
the data is never making it to the USB drives.
