Hi

Whenever I attempt to copy or move files from "My documents" to my memory stick, I get an error which indicates that the directory or file can not be created. Up to the weekend I had no problem in copying or moving any files. It is not a memory problem as sufficient memory is available.

What can the problem be.

Thanks
Try running chkdsk on the memory stick. Removing a stick during a read/write operation may affect it. Reformatting may help.
