Memory card prematurely seems to fill up

[Guest]

I posted this question on 11/19/06 but haven’t resolved it yet, so I thought
I would take another crack at.

I have a Dell Insperion 1705 with a slot for a memory card. I have a SanDisk
2.0 GB memory card. I'm trying to copy files FROM my hard drive TO this
memory card. Even though it has a capacity of 2.0 GB, I can't copy any files
above 100 MB onto it. When I try it I get an error that it's unable to
create the
file or folder. I don't get a specific "Disk Full" error, but get the
message in the prior sentence instead.

I have tried to create a file on that memory card from another program, but
I can't save it. When I delete some files from the memory card, I'm able to
copy files up to 100 MB, and then I get that error.

When I click "properties" in Windows Explorer, it says I have A LOT of
capacity.

I don't remember formatting it at all When I click properties, it shows a
full 2.0 GB of
capacity.

FYI, I use this to copy files from my computer and insert the card into an
electronic photo frame device to display the pictures. I've never actually
put it in a camera.

Why am I getting this and how can I get around it?

==============================
Maybe your reader doesn't recognize a
2GB card or maybe the card is corrupted.
Have you tried the card on a different machine?

I would go here:
https://www.customernation.com/pls/ps/ps.ps_main?p_host=304&p_supplier=5096&p_parm=PSHPP

Normally if something goes wrong formatting the card in the camera does the
trick but you are using this card differently, so I would go to the above
site.

Ken,
I had the same problem with a different memory card and I simply opened My
Computer, right clicked on the memory card, clicked on format and reformated
it. I was then able to download a huge amount of photos to it, so that I
could transfer them to a different computer. Hope this helps.
