HDD-Less Notebook

I have recently replaced the hard disk in my notebook with a 2GB CF card with an adapter. I am able to install Win XP into it. However, when I try to install other software to it, it is unable to install it. I think the notebook is able to detect that the CF card is removeable drive, and not a Hard disk. Does anybody know how to solve this?
