hi, i'm trying to copy files-mp3s, jpgs-from windows xp to a SANDISK 2GB sd
card. i'm only able to copy 270 mb onto the card with 1.62gb left on the card
when I get the message 'error copying file or folder cannot copy(file
name)the directory or file cannot be created". this has happened with 2 brand
new cards- with the other one I could only get 594mb before I get the error
message- I've tried with two different card readers with the same result.
Can anyone help? thanks

I've had this problem with SD cards that come formatted FAT. Reformatting
them FAT32 resolves it for me.
