That's a good idea, thanks, but no good yesterday. I've done this for pictures too, but what a pain for anything else. I found a nice program for saving jpegs, but recognizing them takes two lines of code to look for the beginning and end markers of the file. If all you have is jpegs and lots of them, this is worth the effort and time. Mixed files would be more difficult and something like a word doc? forget it. All I wanted yesterday was a few bytes of text, dding the whole device was just not worth it.
It would be nicer if the device maker had simply stuck to well known specs. If that was happening here, it would have been easy to resize the ntfs partition and there would be no thread about "cluster errors".
