I need to transfer pics on my computer to memory cards but it will only allow a few and then stops.?

I have 400 pics to transfer to a 512 mb SD. It stops at about 130-160. i've tried several times and I know I have plenty of space but it always stops and gives me an error. I reconfigured but that has not helped.

You may need to have more than one folder to store them since a folder on some memory cards can only store so many pictures. I know my camera adds folders as it needs to. I think it's because some camera's use DOS as their operating system, but that's more of a guess.





It's worth a try anyway. Add some folders, then copy about a 100 pictures to each folder.
Reply:How do you know you have plenty of space? Go to My Computer, click on the SD and the select Properties. It will show you how much empty space you have.





400 pics sounds about the max for a 512 Mb SD if they are between 3 and 4 mega pixels.





Also, there may be something wrong with your SD. Have you tried another one?
Reply:I would try formatting the SD card then try again. Just to double check your space. I would put all the pics into (1) folder. Then right click and check properties.





I hope this helps!
