Copy and Paste Problems

[wills7802]

Gday All,
Hope u are all well. Could i please get some help regarding this frustrating issue i have. I am running Vista Home, and when i go to copy music file from my windows media player, to say a sd card (have checked the card, seems fine), it will copy some files, but say 6Gb of music will take around 24 hrs.....yup thats what i said, 24 hrs.....doooh...... and sometimes it will give me an error code: 0x80070570.... Does anyone know why this is doing it?

I have tried to go into the F8 Feature, on startup, but i do not have the restore option. Help..

Also forgot to mention, when i go to copy my music files across to the sd card, it seems to copy files across, which is all good, but if you go back to the said file on the sd card, 2 mins later, its gone, and it looks like the whole file has disappeared. Very bizarre indeed......

That's a limitation of the hardware (the SD card). You can't expect high transfer rate with SD cards. It'll copy a 100MB file fast, but not 1GB. You want better transfer rate? Use a USB flash stick. SD cards are used in cameras.

As for error code 0x80070570:

This error can be caused by a bad sector on a disk (or in this case SD card). The sector affected holds information identifying the music folder to the operating system.

First, back up the data (as much as you can) from the card to another location such as your hard drive.

Second, open Computer, right-click on the item that identifies the SD card (most likely under removable storage), and click 'Properties'. In the dialogue box that opens, select the 'Tools' tab. Click the error-checking option and follow instructions.

It should repair the problem, but some of your data may be lost. If there are still problems, third-party software (some free) is available that can help recover your data.

Hi,

Thanks so much for that, i will try what u suggested. I actually use the SD for my GPS unit (garmin nuvi 760), its a 16Gb sd card, that holds all my music, and i play it via fm transmitter in the car from the gps to the stereo. Will let you know how it goes...thanks

I have just run the error checking and it stated there was no issues....Could i just format the sd card? And if so, would it rectify the problem? Another quick question, if there were bad sectors in say a music file, would this cause problems as well?

If there were no issues, I wouldn't worry about it. You need do nothing. A bad sector refers to a bad location on the hard drive, resulting in corruption from reading the file that's stored over that sector and others. An SD card doesn't have that problem, because it's not a hard disk, it's a type of flash card. However, there could still be a corruption similar to that of a hard disk. A file by itself doesn't have sectors. That's a hard disk term.
