I am trying to move some pic to another file. I get an erroe message that
says "the directory or file cannot be created" I have an external hard drive.
I have a file named x say, and the other file name y. I have pics in y and I
want to move them to x. Well x file has about 29850 pics already in them. Is
that a facor??? I know that I have pleanty of hard drive space that is not
an issue. There has to be a way to override that error message. HElp!!!!

==========================================
Have you tried creating a new folder to
save the images in? Organizing your files
into folders may solve the issue.

Fat folders can have a max of 64K filenames. However long filenames take up multiple entries.

And Fat16 format allows very few files in the root directory.

No the issue is not resolved. I am still getting the error message saying
that path or file cannot be located. I am trying to move a file that has a
picture to another file that has pictures. I need to figure out how to get
rid of that error message.

You first reported:
"the directory or file cannot be created"

Now you report:
"that path or file cannot be located"

Maybe it would be good if you start over
and post exactly what is happening and
what your complete error message is.

Have you tried organizing the files on
the external drive in folders or do you
have all 29850 files in the root directory?

How much free space is available on
the external drive?

Would help trouble-shooting if you get the syntax correct also.

The picture is a "file".

You are trying to put it into a "folder" that has other picture "files".
