    I am trying to copy a bunch of my photos from my hard drive onto a SD card to use in my digital photo frame.
    My card is nowhere close to being full, but it copys about half of the photos I have selected, and I get this message:

    Cannot copy XXXXX.XXX: The Directory of File Cannot Be Created.

    Do you have any idea what is causing this and how I can get my photos copied?



    Thank you so much for your help.

    First, your slight typo threw me off at first....
    It should be "the directory OR file....". Not a big deal. Check out this link below, there's several different ways to solve your problem, pretty much along the lines I was thinking, but I'm too lazy to type it all out if I don't have to ;)

    I hope this helps!

    Thank you so much!
    Formatting the SD card to FAT 32 worked perfectly.
    This site is the best.
    BTW...sorry for the typo. It was late, fat fingers, etc.;)
