"Small Town Man" pointed out this Brighthand thread where TW posted a very interesting registry hack that seems to fix an irritating software flaw for those of you with a Toshiba Genio. Remember to back up your deice before proceeding! A hosed registry can cripple your device.
"If you are tired too that CF and SD storage cards keep changing their name (more precisely: their mount point names in the PPC file system) depending on the order they are inserted than here comes deliverance. I found out how to tweak the registry to get always the same name for the CF card and always the same name for the SD card. Grab a registry editor and do this:
Fix the CF card name: Go into the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\PCMCIA\ATADisk. Create a new string value there with value name Folder and value data CF Card (or whatever name you prefer).
Fix the SD card name: Go into the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SD\Detect\99. Create a new string value there with value name Folder and value data SD Card (or whatever name you prefer).
That's it. The next time you insert a CF card it is mounted under "CF Card" and the SD card is mounted under "SD card" regardless of the order you insert the cards. Up to now I have no problems with this tweak."
