Lee i would advise that you delete the folders on your 256, when you are installing the maps i would recommend that you select a folder on PC, once the files are copied to a folder on your hard drive simply copy them to you storage card. You can do this by going to the folder right click copy, my computer, mobile device, my pocket pc, storage card, right click and paste.

If you get the same error message this way, i would recommend that you format the storage card, this does require a storage card reader. Let me know how you get on.

Thanks for the reply, however when i got as for as pasting it onto mobile device the only options were open, explore and shortcut. , i was under the impression the sd cards did not need formating, is this true? Any more sugestions please.
Many thanks Lee.

Lee,
There have been some compatability issues with SD cards and TT2, I only use Sandisk or Lexar, which have worked fine. I would sudgest buying a USB read/writer for your PC then writing the info will only take about 2-3 mins/100Mb if you do it via activesync it will take hours!!

A decent usb reader will not cost more than 25 quid for a multitype device

Many thank "Q" you saved my pda's life, it was about to take a turn for the worst. I brought a reader/writer from my local currys fired it up formated the card and it went through fine. i did not realise that the card had to formated,
although it was brought new. once again "Q" many thanks.
