Whenever I try to update the SD card (which reads fine) I get Windows Error 31 and the update does not work. This is the same for all SD cards I've tried.
The OS is Pocket PC 2003 v4.20.1081 (Build 13100).
Any ideas how I can get the pda to write to SD cards?

I'm having the same problem with a Transcend 4GB microSDHC card / microSD adapter. I have also found it probably has something to do with the card reader...either the card reader is an SD card reader trying to read an SDHC card OR the card reader is not able to read high-gigabyte SD cards (over 1 GB in some cases).
I had the same "error 31" problem when trying to format a 2 GB SD card. I then tried a 1 GB SD card and it worked fine. I wonder if the device only supports up to 1 GB cards?? I checked the user guide and it does not say one way or the other.
The "E30" error code indicates reading/writing data on a SD card has failed.
Especially, the error code "E30" may appears when you tried to remove a SD card while the camera was processing data.
Solution
To clear the "E30" error, try performing the following procedure.
1. Try using another SD card.
If you have another SD card, try loading it in the camera.
If the error code is not displayed when the other SD card is loaded, there may be something wrong with the first one rather than with the camera.
2. Use your computer's ScanDisk utility to check the SD card for errors.
Use ScanDisk to check the SD card for card error or card failure.
Refer to the instruction manual for your operating system or Windows Help for further instructions.
(If you are using a Macintosh, use the "Disk First Aid" program to check for card error or card failure. Refer to the instruction manual for your Macintosh OS for further information.)
Be sure to back up the data on the SD card on the computer before you check the SD card.
If a card error or card failure occurs when you use your computer's ScanDisk, there is something wrong with the SD card.
Follow ScanDisk's on-screen instructions to solve the problem.
3. Format the SD card with your camera
Try to format the SD card with your camera.
Please refer to the "Camera User Guide" for your camera for instructions on formatting SD cards. Also, please note that formatting a SD card will erase all data on the card.
