check to see how many files AND folders you have in the root folder.

A FAT16 formatted SD card has a limit of 512 entries (or less) in the root. A FAT32 SD card, however, can hold unlimited (in theory) files in the root.
Unlike FAT16, the root folder on a FAT32 drive is an ordinary cluster chain. It can be located anywhere and can add more clusters to the chain, as needed. If he really has FAT32, root folder limits shouldn't be an issue.
