Guest Tracy Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 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? Tracy -- Tracy
Guest R. McCarty Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 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.

Guest R. McCarty Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 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.

As your problems will go away. 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. -- Bill Asus EEE PC 4GB SSD 2GB SODIMM 16GB SDHC Windows XP Home SP2
Guest Tracy Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 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.
