Guest kanlatss81 Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 I just bought a digital picture frame and have a 2GB SD card to put pictures on. The frame will not recognize folders so I just dumped the pictures on the card. It would not allow more than 500 files. Is 500 the limit of files allowed? Also, is there a way around that maximum file number. I have also bought an 8GB Compact flash I was hoping to dump huge quantities of photo files on. Please advise. Thanks! SJS
Guest Alan Edwards Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Re: Number of files on Flash Media There is certainly a limit on many drives and yours looks like 512. Read here: (a bit old and doesn't cover flash drives) http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q39/9/27.asp MS-DOS: Directory and Subdirectory Limitations The solution is normally to use sub folders but that does not seem possible for you. You may be able to reformat it to NTFS though then your frame may not recognize it. You may have it formatted to FAT and if so, try FAT32 ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.com/index.htm On Thu, 11 Sep 2008 20:16:01 -0700, in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general, kanlatss81 <kanlatss81@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >I just bought a digital picture frame and have a 2GB SD card to put pictures >on.
