The XP computer has a "Cannot create directory or file" prompt solution

  

During the process of using the computer, whether it is downloading or copying files, we will create a new directory to store. However, when XP users recently created directories or files, the system prompts that they cannot create directories or files. What is going on? At the same time, how to solve this problem?

Causes and solutions (Tip: convert the FAT32 disk format to NTFS format is the best way to solve can not create a directory or file):

1. disk is FAT32 format, many MP3, U disk is easy to produce this problem when copying files (right click on any drive letter, such as C drive, select “ attribute & rdquo;, in the pop-up dialog box you can see that the disk belongs to Which format), because in theory, the number of files in the root directory or any folder in the FAT32 format drive letter cannot exceed 65,534; if the disk format is FAT32, and the number of files in the root directory or a file is close to 65,534, Copying files to this disk is prone to failures in creating directories or files;

Workaround: Convert the disk format to NTFS format, click “Start Menu”——"Select“Run ”——"Enter“cmd”, press Enter ——" to open the command prompt. If you need to convert the D drive, type "convert d: /fs :ntfs” (red part in the picture below, without quotes) ——" press Enter (the conversion will not damage any data, it will not affect the hard disk); another way is to create more files Folder, the required files are divided into several folders to store, and finally these folders can be copied to the disk together, in general, the number of files in the root directory and a folder should not exceed 65,534; >

2. Copying and pasting files on the LAN cannot create directories or files, and cannot paste files to the other party's computer. This situation is mostly caused by insufficient permissions;

Solution: Check the permissions of the other party's relevant directory, right click on the shared folder ——"Select “Properties”——"Select “Share”tab——"will "network share" And security & rdquo; under the "allow network users to change my file" & rdquo; front hook can be;

After the above operation, we solved the problem can not be created in the XP system Recording and documentation issues. Finally, we will find that the cause of this problem in MP3 and U disk is mostly due to the excessive number of files (more than 65,534), and this type of problem occurs in the LAN because the shared folder does not have sufficient permissions.
