I stuck in my SanDisk 256MB Card and through active sync put 2 folders (mp3 and movies) on the disk. Then I just copied over a couple mp3's into the mp3 folder. It gets to the VERY end of copying and then suddenly BOOM error kicks up and says that it's either write protected or something like that (but It can't be since I just put the two folders on there). It says to make sure it's not copy protected, read only, and that I have permission to copy...
What am I doing wrong?
Also, does the hotsync cradle support USB 2.0 or just 1.1???
I haven't formatted either card (or at least it hasn't prompted me too) though they're both new.
The 64MB Dane-Elec flash card I got I just copied my files over too it and everything worked fine.
If I didn't format either one, how should I go about doing that if that would help me out?
Although you should always pay attention to what "it say", its probably the dreaded "File xxxx was not copied succesfully. Check blahblahblah......"
Take caution, because this happens usually when the card is going the way of the dodo ;) Happened to me, has happened to a number of other members......I wouldnt copy anything of value in that card ;)

It can't be going dead, it's brand new, just taken out of the box....
Here is exactly what it says, maybe this'll help:
"Cannot copy ********: Access is denied.
Make sureyour mobile device has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read-only (it's not), and that you have permission to copy this file type."
My 64MB Dane-Elec card does just fine when i copy files over...
Is your Sandisk an SD card or a CF card? cuz if it's an SD card and it says Made in Taiwan or Made in China on the back, it probably is going south.
hmm....the card isn't locked, right?
A good policy to follow on SD cards for the Axim--don't buy it if it doesn't say "Made in Japan" on the back, because otherwise the chances are pretty good that it's going to crash on you sooner (as soon as a few minutes/hours) or later (as late as several months).
There is a remedy that sometimes works and fixes the problem completely: use some kind of formatting program and reformat the card to FAT32. FAT32, and some cluster size i don't remember...you can find it if you do a search though.
If the card still has problems, get it replaced, sell the replacement, and buy a different brand, preferably simpletech, if you can afford it. Or you can take your chances with Lexar, whose "Made in Japan" cards are very good and i speculate that the odds of getting card made in Japan from Lexar is about 85% or better. Viking is hit and miss...I'm starting to see a few more complaints. Lexar's 256 MB SD cards are among the cheapest out there right now...
I had a similar problem with copying MP3 files to a directory called MP3 on a SanDisk 256mb SD card. I delete the directory called MP3 and created on called MP3s and everything has been fine since.

im no expert since ive never had to do this myself, but there's a program called flash format floating around. it should be free, and it works a lot of the time. oh, and also Storage Tools. try google....
