Hi...
i've an ipaq 4150 and i use totalcmd as the file explorer. sometimes i get this error
"Error 13 changing to dir"
and i can't see my files stored on sd. and one time i lost all my files on my sd for this reason.(i used the resco as well but it did occur).
my sd card is sandisk ultra 2 1gb. what could be the problem?

What do you exactly mean by that? Did the same problem occur with Resco too? I bet - TC is a very good, reliable and stable app. It won't mess up any storage card by itself.

Unfortunately, problems like this are pretty common. I wouldn't say it's because of a faulty card. For example, sometimes Pocket PC programs cause (temporal, seeming) card messups - for example, Spb Imageer (http://www.winmobiletech.com/PICVIEWERS/).

You may also want to reformat (and, at the same time, optimize (http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17921)) your card. And, if these problems continue after reformatting it, swap the card/test your PDA with another card.

OIC. In general. deleting files like these takes quite much time, especially if you use FAT32 with small cluster sizes and you also have a FAT backup. During this, the PPC may become non-responsive.

Try deleting large files in a desktop card reader.
