SYMPTOMS
When you run Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition (SQL Server Mobile Edition) on a Microsoft Windows Powered Pocket PC 2003-based device, you receive the following error message:

This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:

CAUSE
This problem occurs because the block device driver has not yet started when the device is just restored from the suspend mode. Therefore, when the SQL Server Mobile Edition engine tries to access the .sdf database file on the storage card, the storage system returns the following error message:

device is busy
