Hi, i ran into strange problem today, using card reader (actually a portable hard drive with sd port) try to copy 400 files onto 1G sd card, it failed saying can't write after exactly 204 file written successfully, i remove 1 file, then i can copy 1 file in, but no more, sounds like the totoal number of files is capped at 204? i kinda remember i wrote more files before

well i tried a different sd card, same thing... so far no ereader is involved all on computer

then i tried put it in ereader, and use connect software to see if i can add 1 more, got fsk error code=-9999 ...

there are 600m available so it's not the size

it's formatted as FAT

i tried to format as FAT32, i can copy all 400 files (although much slower), but on ereader only 22 showed up

why i can't save more files on the card under FAT?

any idea? driving me nuts

thx!!!

ps. i replaced 1 file with a new folder, i can copy some more files in the folder, but at root level only 204 max???
