Weird Error (Native exception 0xC0000005 ) and SD card

[Ignacio Machin \( .NET/ C# MVP \)]

Hello.

I have an application that if ran from a SD Card from time to time I get a
native exception 0xC0000005 , it does not happen when it's ran from the
memory of the PPC ( ipaq 5550 ).
I have not ben able to pinpoint where exactly in the code is throw, the
operation involve the call of a native DLL for RAS and writing/reading some
files.

I first suspect of the dll but I'm been using it for almost two years now
without any problem. So now I blame the SD card. has anybody find any
problem using an SD card to run an application?

Any thoughs about this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

On my PPC (Ipah 3970), sometimes the SD is not recognized. I need to unplugged and re-plunged it to having it working fine.

So maybe you have a similar problem : the data on the SD is not accessible ?

I hope this could help

Tom.

I still havent found the action that trigger that exception, still working
on it, from other post around the web it seems that it's something about the
accesibility of the SD card, in the SQLCE NG there was a post about this.
For now I have installed CF SP2 and today I will have words if the thing
improved or not

Some brands of SD cards are better than others, also, they can and do
develop faults which may or may not be able to be fixed by formatting
the card.

Now that you talk about formatting, another thing happened to me yesterday
that got my by surprise, when I inserted a SDCard on a iPaq 3835 running
2002 it asks for formatting it before use, until now I had deployed the
cards to customers running on ipaq 5550 ( ppc 2003 )
Was this a "faulty" card or by some reason I need to format them to be
usable in 2002?
