Vista - Error code 80070052 when copying photos

I am trying to copy some photos off the hard drive onto an SD card. I have
managed to copy dozens already but now get the error code "80070052 - the
directory or file cannot be created". I still have 906MB of free space on a 1
gig card, so it cannot be lack of free space. Please help!

I had this same problem and solved it as follows:

Reformat the SD Card - this will delete all content.
Then Make a new Folder and copy ALL photos into this folder.

I was experiencing exactly the same problem as you and found there seems to
be a limit on the number of "items" that can be saved onto the card,
regardless of how much memory is available - the folder only counts as one
item, no matter how many photos are copied in to it.

I have filled a 1GB card for use on a digital photo frame with no problem at
all, since I started copying them into the single folder.

I hope this helps

WOW. Thanks, Hazelnut, for the answer to John's problem as it was my problem as well. Now I have unlimited use of the 2G SD card that had only accepted 309 items. Really great when a simple solution is available.
