That is an error communicating with the device. Usually, this kind of error can be fixed by
following the steps below in sequence. First:

1) Try rebooting both the device and your computer
2) If that does not work, find the files driveinfo.calibre and metadata.calibre on the device
and delete them (you can use Windows Explorer or a file manager on the device itself to do this)
3) Reset the device

If none of those work, you can use one of the wireless communication methods described here:

Thanks for the reply.

The problem appears to be with the SD card. Works OK on transfer to main memory.

Reformat the SD card and note that many devices have problems with SD cards, especially larger ones.
