Hi Paul I have no idea. I normally just delete the files when they are stored. The cards work great. No problems. It's the files retrieved from the card - in my portable harddrive, which I can't seem to open or read. Twice within one month a got a "card full" of files, that I can't access.

Have you tried re-formatting the card in a card reader? If so, was it formatted to the default FAT32 or FAT (FAT16)? Cards used for photo applications typically need to be formatted to FAT not FAT32. -P Kostas Kavoussanakis wrote: > On Sun, 5 Jun 2005, Jens Bladt wrote: > > >>Thanks Markus >>But I don't know what you mean by "Start --> run --> cmd >>ren" > > > MS Windows.
