Putting the invisible files on the disk is a function of PC Exchange / File Exchange, not the type of flash memory. I haven't seen a camera yet that puts it's pictures in the root folder. Even if it did, other files being there shouldn't bother it. In any event, the Mac isn't "corrupting" anything". -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
