Flash card reader: write problem...
Hi everyones! Thanks to read.
I've bought an internal Flash card reader/floppy drive combo that you can see he http://www.directron.com/fa404.html I'm running it under Windows98SE with the appropriate driver (Win2000/ME/XP doesn't need a driver). I've cheated since i'll buy my digicam only in a week or two, but i wanted to get done at setting up the card reader 1st. I've bought also an SD 256Mb card from Transcend. Tested the reader with a friend's Memory Stick and could read his pictures without any problem. Later during the evening, i did some tests with my 256Mb SD card. I tried to transfer files to it and then discovered a problem. For a few files there's no problem, but when i try to write hundreds of .jpg files (no i'm not exceding the capacity of the card...!), i eventually end up by geting the message: "The directory or file cannot be created" and the transfer stops. What have been transfered before this error message appears is ok. When i get this message, i can't add more files to the card. I've deleted all the contents of the card, then retried. Got the same message. I thought it was because of the file naming (because of french, i often use different accented characters), so i copied the the files to a new folder, then with ACDSee i did a batch rename for all the files, renaming them 000-001-002...and so on. When trying again to write those newly renamed files, i get the same error. I'm able to write to the card a little more files (about 300 out of 748, instead of the 153), but the write process stops when the same amount of files have been transfered each time i try. I don't have any clue. I've checked the supportFAQ section of Mitsumi's web site, but could not find anything about this problem. Found instead the deceiving message: "Important Notice for Mitsumi Product Owners: Mitsumi does not offer repair services, repair parts, and does not have an authorized repair shop." Well...nice! :-( I'm searching on Google at the time i'm writing this, hoping that i'll find something. Have any idea about my problem? Thanks for any useful replies. -- Alain(alias:Kilowatt) Montréal Québec PS: 1000 excuses for errors or omissions, i'm a "pure" french canadian! :-) Come to visit me at: http://kilowatt.camarades.com (If replying also by e-mail, remove "no spam" from the adress.) |
