Camera and fat files on XP
 

Hey guys long time no see:D

Don't know if I can post this here but here goes..

Hey guys my new camera a Samsung Digimax A40 and I cant tranfer my pics from the camera to a file on my PC running XP Pro, I can see the icon for the pics which is JPEG but cant move, copy or paste them..

Have been mucking with this all day:mad:

My old Kodak CX7300 no probs at all:D

I have not long ago noticed that the JPEGs from the camera are FAT so thats why I cant view them is my guess..

How can I get this to work???:aweof:

Anti virus was the problem...:shoot:

fat files are not 'fat'....that would just be the file system format on the device which they reside upon...XP will see both fat and ntfs file systems...when a file is moved from a fat32 format to a ntfs format it is still the same, just the format it resides upon is different....

Thanks 4 the info:cool:
