Hi, I'm guessing that some sectors on your compact flash card may be corrupt. I have a 1GB card that I am not using on the Bookport, but I use it with my note-takers. I found that I can read the files that are already on it, but, when I try to download more files on it, I get a message that some sector or other is corrupt. So, it may be your compact flash card. You may need to get another card. Myrna . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kurt E.
