Eve,
I've seen this problem using larger cards when they haven't been formatted
to Fat 16. They appear to start out OK but then, partway through, do just
as you describe.
Sometimes I had success reformatting the card, other times I did not.

Subject: [Braillenote] copying between storage devices on m-power
Here's a puzzle for someone to sort out. I had a 2 GB pen drive with
several mp3 files on, and I wanted to copy them to an sd card of the same
size which will go in my mp3 player. I figured the m-power could do this
job, so plugged the pen drive and the sd card into it. I had successfully
copied most of the files over, doing it folder by folder, when in the
middle of one folder being copied I got the message "the system cannot
write to the specified device" and that was the end of copying. After
that it refused to copy anything else to the card. I did a software reset
and tried again, and at about the same point in that same folder I got
that message. After another reset I tried using other files which hadn't
yet been copied to the card, and again, part-way through, the same thing
happened. Then "the systest" wouldn't read from the pen drive, and at one
point I tried copying something from the flash disk just to see what would
happen, and "the system" wouldn't read from that either. But after a
software reset it would be okay again, at least for a while. It would
sometimes allow me to create a new folder on the sd card, but not allow me
to put anything in it. In fact it did this with another sd card I was
working with once before, and I had then thought "the system" just didn't
like that card, and had asked a friend with a pc to put whatever it was I
wanted on that card. I know this sounds rather strange, and I hope it
makes sense. I'm curious to know if it's happened to anyone else, or if
anyone has any ideas as to what's going on. I'm planning to speak to the
tech support guys tomorrow morning anyway. Eve
