I originally said no to the format prompt and tried space with X when looking for the files I had copied from the PC so that was why I eventually said yes to the prompt. Better luck next time.
Thanks again for the help.

This isn't true. The only mistake you made was accidentally saying yes when the bn asked you if you wanted to format your cf card. This is simply a bug in keysoft, and, unfortunately, answering yes to it will reduce your card's storage capacity so significantly that it is rendered useless. > > This, and other hazardous bugs, are not documented in the manual anywhere which is a shame because they cause curious users like yourself to lose money. But, Betsy, if you buy a new card, what you want to accomplish can easily be done. In the future, if you receive this message, simply say no. > > You also can copy one folder from the PC with many subdirectories within it, because the bn has the capability of searching within subdirectories as well. Simply press space with t (control with t) when asked what folder you wish to open, and you will be switched to directory mode. Use the space bar (arrow keys) to arrow through the subdirectories and press enter on it. If there is not a second level of subdirectories, press enter again and you should be able to look through your list of files. > > Also, if you copy files from the PC, depending on their file type, you will have to press space with x (read with x) when asked which file you want to open.
