Important |
After performing a certain process, return the status back to the "EWF Enable" (or "Protect ON") with the same procedure. It makes writing to a CF card disabled afresh so that unexpected data update or deletion cannot be performed. In the Windows XP Embedded environment, the "EWF Enable" (or "Protect ON") is recommended for usual operation. |
