Fanus: Try formatting with the Book Port. I would skip the PAC Mate steps altogether, since I don't see what purpose they might serve, other than testing the card. Rob Meredith >>> fanus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 06/24/05 11:27AM >>> Hi Listers I hope someone can help. I obtained a cf card with more storage for my book port, so I took the 256mb card from the bp and put it in my card reader and formatted it with win xp. I received no errors but when I put the card in the pm and try to copy files to the pm I get the following message: "cannot copy file ... Access is denied. Make sure that the mobile device has enough memory, that the file is not set as read only and that you have permission to copy this file type." Is there a way to solve this problem? O yes, and I can copy files to and from the card when it is in the card reader. Would it help to put the card back in the bp and format it there first? Thanks Fanus
