cf space

[lybarr]

I was just putting some mp3 on a 512 cf card and the counter said I had about 57mb left to use, but every time I try to put one more on it says there is no room. The mp3 are small enough that I should be able to put 5 or 6 more on there, whats up ?

Are the files in subdirectories? There is a limit to the number of files that can be in the root directory of the card, so if you have gotten to that limit, having space left is no use to you. Create some subdirectories, move files into them and you should be able to continue.

How do I do that?

While your axim is connected, use the explore button on ActiveSync. Go to "My Pocket PC"; you should a folder labelled "CF Card" (unless you've renamed these things). Open it and pull down "File | New Folder" and Bob's your uncle. You can do nearly the same thing with the file explorer on your axim directly.

Thanks guys like worked like a charm.

Or use a card reader and do it directly to the card, much faster than through axim:)

how does creating a folder on my CF card make Bob my uncle?
