Guest ms Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 At the moment, in W2K, want to transfer files to a W98 computer. Tere has been several threads here on flash cards. Up to now, had no trouble (W2K) loading a flash card, unlocking it, transferring to a W98 machine, loading and then unlocking there. In W98SE, I used the universal W98 driver from a post by glee, it works fine. Today, loaded 1.9GB on a Sony 2 GB flash card, got the message "disk full", I said Cancel and checked contents, looks like everything is there. Next I went into the Unlock sequence, usually it is maybe a 1 minute max delay, but this time it still does not unlock in 30 minutes. Tried rebooting, no luck. I suppose this is related to the error message. I searched here, don't see this issue. How to unlock the flash card? ms

I shut down at night, so this AM was a cold boot, this time it unlocked. Flash cards should not be filled near capacity, it looks like. ms

I used the flash card in W98SE and it unlocks immediately. ms
