Hi,
I sorta knew that - IOW, I wasn't sure. But, when working with important
photos on a computer, it never hurts to play it safe. There's always the
possibility that you can hit the wrong key and end up deleting files
rather than pasting them. It seems to me that if you've spent a full day
When I said it might be dangerous I was thinking of some set of
circumstances of which I am totally unaware. Windows does not delete a
directory entry until the 'Paste' is complete. If something goes wrong
to stop the transfer the file is left as it was. You might be just as
far up the creek
While the file delete doesn't take place until after an
individual file has been copied, you can still lose, big
time, if there's a problem updating the directory.
In any case, it's faster (as well as safer) to clear out
the card by re-formatting it, rather than deleting files.

Joe,
Are you closing and then re-opening the My Computer
window? My laptop does what you describe if I just
leave the My Computer window open. If I close it and
reopen it, the new drive is there.
