memory stick 256 mb PRO with DSC P73 - Copying Problem

[metalickaah]

thanks to u all in advance.
i've bought a memory stick 256 mb PRO (sony original).
Using this stick the camera is not detected in Picture packagage. While if i go through windows explorer, it shows "Removable Drive F:"
I took a full length mpg (12.45 minutes 640 VGA) and tried to copy on computer from windows explorer, it started well but at the time the message become from " 6 minutes remaining" to " 4 minutes remaining", an error message came saying "cannot copy from the device".

But the same mpg files plays back in the camera perfectly well.

The same is the case with photos, few particular photos doesn't get copied and i get the same message "cannot copy from the device" for 4-5 particular photos. But the same photos are displayed in the camera.

I thought that some sector of the memory may be corrupt so I got the stick replced by a fresh one from my dealer but the problem remains the same.

Please help me urgently as i wish to use this camera on an upcoming tour and may loose some memorable pictures if this problem persists

It doesn't sound like much of a problem - if photos/movies are intact on camera, but transfer screws up, well - what mode is the camera in? PTP or MASS storage? Maybe try using a different USB port?

I'd get a card reader and see how transfers work with that.

thanks a lot Nick, but then the other lexar 128 mb memory stick (not PRO) is working just fine

Please suggest something, this problem is getting on my nerves, i copy in PTP mode
