'cannot Copy [file] Error...' While Transferring Data From Kodak Z915 Camera To Computer

The Kodak Z915 camera comes loaded with an extended zoom so that you can capture far away shots with incredible quality. Based around 10x optical zoom, 10 megapixels and 2.5 inches LCD screen, this compact camera is an ideal choice for those looking for a powerful yet affordable option. Being compatible with SD and SDHC cards, this camera allows you to store numerous HD pictures and videos. Thanks to the better transfer speed, now downloading pictures and videos to a computer is a hassle-free and fast experience. However, these cards can become corrupt in various instances, resulting in grave data loss situations. In such scenarios, you must re-format a corrupt card and recover the lost data from a clean and updated backup copy. And, if there is no backup available, no need to be disappointed as you can recover lost data with the help of an efficient camera recovery software

Consider a scenario, wherein, you use a FAT 16 formatted SD card in your Z915 camera. When you attempt to add more photos and videos to SD card from your computer, you may come across the following bugging error:

“Cannot copy [file]: The directory or file cannot be created.”

As a result of the above error, you are unable to transfer the data onto it.

Cause

FAT 16 doesn't support large number of directory entries plus it doesn't even allow long file names. A FAT 16 formatted SD card can hold a maximum of 512 entries in its root directories. The error can surface if the SD card already contains maximum number of files.

Resolution

You can follow the below-mentioned steps in order to isolate the problem:

1)Create a sub-directory and copy all files to it
2)In future, remember not to assign long names to files
3)However, in order to completely resolve the issue, you must re-format the SD card in FAT 32 format. You can then restore the lost data by using the recent backup.

If you don't have a backup, you must acquire a digital camera recovery to retrieve photos and other files from your Kodak Z915 camera's SD card.

Such tools scan the formatted memory card thoroughly and extract data efficiently, irrespective of the type of memory card. Ensure you select a read-only camera recovery tool from the Internet.
