Hi Abradaxis,

You don't say what file system is used, but my guess would be it is
either FAT16 or FAT32. In either case, both file systems limit the
number of files that can be saved in the root directory to 512 entries.

Note that even though in theory there can be 512 entries in the root
directory of a FAT drive, if long file names are used a single entry can
take up more than one of those 512 permissible slots in the root directory.

Sincerely,
C.Joseph Drayton, Ph.D. AS&T
