EXACTLY how many files are you trying to place on the root drive of that disk?
fat/fat16 limitation is 512 files on root directory.
http://www.dewassoc.com/kbase/hard_drives/fat_fat32.htm
"The FAT 16 system uses 32 sectors of 512 bytes each to store the root directory. This limits the size of the root directory on a hard disk to 512 entries. In other words, you can have at most 512 files and folders in the root directory."
word?i didnt know that.....it's 67 mb so its most likely more than.....so how would i create a new directories so i can use all 250 mb of the disk?
