Memory Sticks

Maybe you know maybe you don't, just in case it's the latter here is a little tip I just found out about using Memory sticks.  This is any type USB, SD what ever...

I bought one of the digital photo frames and purchased a 2GB SD Memory, I started copying photos from my PC to the SD chip and after a few folders and error message that could not copy files with some big long number as a reason behind this pop up error.  When I checked the properties I found only 87MB of 2 gig was in use, but no matter what I did it would not copy over any further photos.

After some research I found that you will fill up the root of a memory stick very fast and then your done!  You "MUST" create at least 1 folder on the device and then you can fill it full (well nearly full).  Has to do that memory is formatted in FAT32 which falls back to the old HD formatting methodology.

So if your having problems and getting errors when trying to use your memory sticks give that a try...
