Hi:

It's possible.  If you're getting that error on more than one file, it's 
probably better to go ahead and reformat the card and start over.  It is always 
a good idea not to clutter the root folder.  The memoes folder, help file and 
the Notes folder will automatically reside in the root folder.  You can add one 
other folder there, call it whatever you want, and then place other folders 
witin that folder, so as not to clutter the root.  If the root gets cluttered, 
then you will eventually have problems.  It may not seem problematic at first, 
but will become more apparent, over time.

As for how many files you can have in a folder, that will vary, depending on 
the files themselves and what type they are.  If the files have really long 
names, then you don't want to place too many in one folder.  Also, if you use 
audio files, you may want to keep about 20 in a folder.  There's no way to give 
an exact number--it's mostly trial and error, but key is not to clutter the 
root and go from there.  If you find a particular folder becomes sluggish, then 
you can move some of those files into another folder.

Hope that helps!

Pamela

Blah...its happened with more than 1 file. So does that mean I'll have to
reformat the card and transfer all my books onto there again?
Also, does it matter how many files are in a folder? In the root folder I
have books. Then I've got author name. Does it matter how many files are in
each folder? Would that have anything to do with it?

thanks
