Cannot move file (82): The directory or file cannot be created and Cannot copy file (82): The directory or file cannot be created.


These error messages may be given if the files are being copied to the root folder of a FAT formatted partition (FAT12 or FAT16, it does not apply to FAT32) and the maximum number of file or folder entries has been reached.


FAT16:


Maximum file size: 4 GB

Maximum number of files/folders in a root folder: 512

Maximum number of files in any other folder: 65000


The solution is to either copy to a directory (instead of the root) or to reformat the drive using the FAT32 file system.
