Probem with copying to Memory stick

[Guest Tracy]

I have a 1GB Scandisk memory stick and was attempting to download 340 pics

amounting to approx 380MB's on to it from my Computer (XP) and when it was

just about finished this message popped up- "Cannot copy DSC327: The

Directory or file cannot be created."

The photo that was not copied just happened to be the last photo of the 340.

The rest were copyed just fine.

I tried to copy again several times different photos on to the same memory

stick with the 239 pics on it from another folder and got the same error

message.

One last attempt I tried to download the same photos onto a 2GB Memory stick

and got the same message. I just cannot download any more pictures on either

of the Memory sticks. They cannot be full? Does anyone have any suggestion

that might help me?

Re: Probem with copying to Memory stick

 

Is it possible that the file in question has been recently opened or

accessed with a program ? You may have a File Handle opened

on that file. None of the other conditions ( size, file count ) would

account for the inability of Explorer to successfully copy it. It' also

possible the file itself may be corrupted - can you open and view

the contents of DSC327 ?

 

You may also want to do a Read-Only Chkdsk on the source volume.

You can only have so many files in the root. Is this where you are

installing them? If so, try creating a folder and place them in there. See:

Re: Probem with copying to Memory stick

 

DSC327 wasn't the only file that it happened to. Other attempts got same

message only with a different file. What is a File Handle opened mean? Also

how do I perform a Read-Only Chkdsk on the source volume.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Probem with copying to Memory stick

 

An Open file handle means an application or operating system has a

file opened for access. In some cases that will prevent other apps or

functions from gaining use of the file.

 

To run a Chkdsk:

Click Start, Run ( Type ) cmd [Enter]

(Type)

>Chkdsk C: [Enter]

If the volume/disk is "Dirty" then Chkdsk will report that it found errors

it was unable to resolve. It recommends a alternate run of Chkdsk with

a /F qualifier that tells the OS to fix the issues and can only be done at

the early part of the boot sequence before Windows has fully loaded.

To queue up a boot-time chkdsk you have to re-enter the command &

add a /F or /R to it and then answer Y to schedule it at the next boot.

*Chkdsk with Fix or Repair can make changes to the volume that may

result in data loss. DO NOT run Chkdsk /F /R unless your drive is

fully backed up or imaged.

Do you know what I mean Tracy? Make a folder and copy the files in there. As

your problems will go away.

Here's something to try: Delete the files, create a subfolder and copy

the files to there.

Re: Probem with copying to Memory stick

 

Bill, I did copy all the photos into one Folder on the PC and then copied the

contents of the entire folder into the memory stick and at the very end, I

got the same message the it could not create the particular

file,................... then when I attempted to copy one or more files into

the memory stick it would not do it. Can't figure it out.

It doesn't really matter if they came from a folder or not. But that many

files must live in a folder on the memory stick too. You cannot have that

many files without being inside of a folder. And to create a folder, you

have to delete a file or a few at least before you will be allowed to create

a folder.

Re: Probem with copying to Memory stick

 

Bill, McCarty, I finally figured out the problem. When I copied from the pc

folder to the memory stick, I just highlighted the MS/MSPro Drive and clicked

copy. I did not open up the MS/MSPRO Drive and then the DCIM folder and

finally the 101MSDFC folders and then clicked copy. Doing that I didn't get

the message and now I can add other photos when I want to. The photos are for

a digital frame that I have bought for my mother that shows all the

grandchildren or in her case the great grandchildren.

 

Thanks for your help.
