error mmsg when copying photos to cd drive

[Guest]

I use Windows XP. I have a cd drive and a cd-r in that drive. My cd drive has
no problem creating music cd's. However, I have tried to copy my vacation
pics from their folder in 'shared pics' to a cd that is designed for photos
and even to other types of cd-r and cd-rw's, but I continue to get a pop-up
error msg that says "D:/ IS INACCESIBLE. INCORRECT FUNCTION" ... I have used
every suggestion found in Windows XP Help topics and I get the same thing.
Can anyone help me here? I am at a loss.

[Disappearing Photos]

Help!

I have two problems:

1. Disappearing photos from my hard drive
I have Windows XP and have been archiving my photos on my Toshiba Satellite
P15-S420 Notebook Computer for the past several years. There are over 11,000
photos. I sometimes look at photos by clicking on a folder and then click
"Thumbnail" and the photos are shown.

A week ago, I discovered that I could not "see" several hundred photos in
about 30 of my 100+ folders when I click "Thumbnails." Instead of a photo,
there appears a generic picture of a sailboat on a lake with a setting sun.
If I click "Details," on an affected folder, I noticed that there are four
columns shown: Name, Size, Type and Date Modified
Photos that are still visible have four columns: Name, Size, Type, Date
Modified, Date Picture Taken and Dimensions.

I went through every folder of my photos and I re-down-loaded the missing
photos with no problems.

Last night, I did another scan of every folder in my hard drive and
discovered that another 20+ folders have been affected! What's happening?


2. Last night I was copying photos from my hard drive to a brand new
SanDisk, 2GB CF card. I had no problems with the first 599 photos. Then
problems with 0600 through 0691 - "Error Copying File or Folder - cannot copy
IMG_0600: the directory or file cannot be created." I could copy 0692 and
after, but several other photos resulted in the same error message. Changing
CF cards did not solve the problem either.

HELP!
Thanks,
AK

============================
For your second question...

There is a limit to the number of files you can
add to the Root Directory of a memory card.
This can be overcome by simpy creating
folders to copy them into..
