Error 0x80070052 (quick & easy fix—Feb. 2010)

Background:  I bought digital picture frames to give as Christmas gifts this year.  I was able to move several hundred photos to flash drives, but eventually got this same error message on three separate progressively larger capacity drives.

I researched the error message, and found numerous references to faulty registry files and a very sick computer.  That totally freaked me out (but that’s a whole other something to blog about).

Anyway…  how to fix that error message in two easy steps:

  1. Create a new folder on the flash drive
  2. Copy the files to the new folder

Yes.  It’s that easy.

The first couple of hundred were “allowed” just “loose” on the drive, but the rest of them couldn’t be moved until I created a new folder to put them in.
