Windows to SD card. 512MB yes. 1GB no?

[ClickCardo]

Hi everybody

I just got the new Kodak SV-811 picture frame, it's very nice, and was trying to put some jpg pics on a 1GB Sandisk SD card. The card was formatted to FAT by my Nikon D80. I was physically transferring them using a Sandisk Imagemate 12-1 USB card reader. Some of the pics would end up corrupted on the card no matter what method I tried, e.g. Windows Explorer drag-drop/copy-paste, Bridge drag-drop/copy-paste, etc. The most frustrating part was even using the same technique it wasn't always the same pics getting corrupted, i.e. a pic could be corrupted once and fine the next time. They all continue to be ok on the hard drive. The corruption would occur before putting the SD card into the frame.

I called Kodak support, they have a group just for their frames, and they said 512MB was the max size to successfully hold pictures. So I bought a 512MB SD card for $10 and sure enough it worked a 100% of the time! This was the case even before putting the card into the frame. Does anybody know why there is corruption only on the larger sized card? If you can answer that then can you tell me how to fix it so I can use the 1GB card?

Thanks
CC

I don't know whether this will help

I encountered a similar problem recently with too many files in the Root directory. You may find that creating additional folders and moving files into them may help :confused: I don't know whether it is number of files or size which is the limiting factor

Hope that goes someway to help

I would think that if the picture frame can only support 512 meg cards, you are stuck there. It's possible the SD card may have become corrupted. Have you tried reformatting the card since then? This can be done in the camera, and should be done in the camera anyway. That should get rid of the corruption, assuming the SD card itself has not gone bad.
