error message about copying

[Guest]

What I was doing: scanning in artwork for a CD, then moving the scanned
artwork from "My Scans" to a flash drive. I then recieved this error message:
"Cannot copy(codename) the directory or file cannot be created". I have been
doing this for awhile without problems, and then all of a sudden, it doesn't
work. I am unable to move anything. I tried to move different scans ,
pictures(in My Pictures) and I just keep getting the same message. It also
will not allow me to drag an item either.

Help anyone?

If you are putting the files in the "root directory" of the drive, there
could be a limit to the number of files and folders that can exist there
(usually 510).

Try to create a series of folders on the drive and copy the files to the
folders, not all just to the root directory.
