I scanned my 35mm slides using a One Touch Visioneer 9220 scanner. The
software provided with the scanner is called Scan Soft PaperPort. I
saved the files in a folder I called Mypics, as JPEG files. Next I
selected all of the JPEG files and copied them to a CD. They copied
O.K. but when I try to copy them from this CD to another CD or to a
Flash Drive device  some copy... then the copying stops and I get the
the prompt "cannot copy""file so and so" ..."the directory or file
cannot be created." I do not want to go through the process of
scanning etc. again, and I'm not sure that would  make the correction.
There are quite a few pictures. Is there some way to correct this?
Thanks for the help.
John

Have you tried dragging a few pictures at a time to see if that works?
I've noticed that some CD burning programs add a small applet of their
own, and when Windows encounters this file, it stops copying. Try
selecting ONLY .jpeg files and dragging a few at a time. (If your
files are very large, as mine are, you may get a buffer underun.)

If you can drag a few succesfully, it is probably the applet that is
stopping the transfer.

Another reason could be that you have more than one file with the same
name. For example, if you have a picture labeled 101.jpeg from one
date, in a folder, and try to copy another picture from another
folder, also named 101.jpeg, and place both into the same destination
folder, there can be a conflict.

Let us know if dragging a few works well for you.
Regards, Crabcakes

Crabcake,
Dragging or trying to copy only a few files at a time still resutlts
in the same prompt. Is there any way I can create a new directory of
access old one to remedy?
John

i guess the cd is scratched badly

I would say copy them to your hard drive one by one to ensure they are
still in tact. Or open them and then click save as and save them on
your hard drive. Then burn what you have saved to a new CD
