SD Card limitations

I am not certain where to ask this.

I use a Toshiba 740e PocketPC 2002 Handheld. I am using Delorme Street Atlas
Handheld with a Delorme Bluelogger GPS and a Socket CF Bluetooth card.

The problem I am having is that I can't fully load any SD card. Right now I
have a 256 MB SD card loaded with 174 vector maps from Delorme Topo 2005. I
use a ScanDisk USB multi card reader to load the card. I reach a certain
point and it tells me it can't create files or folders. The 174 files take
up 106 MBs. This is the most I have ever gotten.

I have read that it is possible that the card my be corrupt. I have
reformated and still get the same results. It doesn't happen only on this
card, but on my 64 and 128 meg cards, too. They aren't all from the same
manufacturer.

I, also, read that it is best to format cards on the device they will be
used for. Downloaded a utility to do this, called Pocket Mechanic. This is
how I got it loaded to 106 megs. Still ends up choking.
