I was adding pictures to a 1G memory card using my printer as the card reader. I started getting an error message 'Cannot copy (name of picture copying). The directory or file cannot be created'. I thought maybe the SD card ran out of space. I then purchased a 2G card and tried adding more pictures but received the same error message. I also purchased a digital USB connection card reader and still get the same error message. Any idea why this happened?
Hi.
First, format the card in 'FAT 32'. Then open/explore the card in 'My Computer'. Once you've done this, click on 'Create a New Folder' in the options menu on the left-hand side of the screen, and call this 'photos' or something so you'll know where you're moving files to. Then copy or move your files to this sub-folder. I was having the same problem with four different SD cards of various sizes. I tried this, and it worked with them all first time. Good luck!
