section deletes itself

[exciter]

Hello people,

I have a problem.
I use ON 2003 on a xp sp2 machine.

I keep my .one files on a memory stick.
The capacity of the stick is 125 mb and about 110 mbs is full
and I only have one note files and the outlook file on the memory stick.

I have a section about 11 mb in size.
Today I have created a page in that section and pasted a text.
I closed ON. Then ON deleted the whole section by itself.
I was surprised and did not quite get why this happened.
Since I had a backup of that section, I have recopied it back to its
original location.
Everything was in order. Then I have created the same page again, in that
section,
and again ON deleted the section when I closed it.

Now what is the explanation for this?
Is there a limit size on what I can copy to ON?
Or is there a free disk space requirement to copy ON files, because
I had only about 15 mb free disk space left on the memeory stick.
Could anyone tell what this is about?
Thank you in advance.
With Regards.

By the way I also got an error message
"write file error" on the section I have mentioned.

Aloha exciter,

That's a fairly important error.

My guess would be insufficient space on the flash drive. If you can't free
more space on it or move to a larger flash drive why not move to your hard
drive and see if the problem goes away. (I'm betting it does)

Well I deleted that volumnious section and it seems fine now.
I hope the problem is just as it is now, and not any other serious thing...
Thanx Ben!
