cannot copy newly created files to backup, all existing ok
I have copied my file full of excel spreadsheets for months to a 1G memory
stick. Suddenly, I create a new file and it will not copy it to the stick.... message I get when it comes to this file: Cannot copy AAlison2006.xls:The directory or file cannot be created What does this mean and how do I fix it so I can get it backed up with all my other files in that folder? |

Sounds like the memory stick may be full, you have checked that though, I
expect? "NBaum" wrote: I have copied my file full of excel spreadsheets for months to a 1G memory stick.

Yes, have checked and it still has lots of unused memory. Thanks

Rename the file, then try copying it.
I also wonder if the memory stick is flawed. Can you copy any other new files to it? NBaum wrote: I have copied my file full of excel spreadsheets for months to a 1G memory stick.
