First, I'd just like to say thanks to all of those that responded.  It
appears I resolved my problem...not quite sure how.  The drive is
FAT16...i'm really sorry I forgot to mention that...I guess I was
getting a little tired and aggravated.  I was finally able to fill up
the drive by moving files and folders around from another one of my
drives.  I do not know what the exact problem was, but from my best
guess I would say it would have to be what Donald and David
suggested...I was probably trying to put too many files in the root
directory.  I had never known that fact about FAT16 before.  I'm glad I
learned something new, but sorry I had to go through so much aggravation
to learn it.  But, oh well, that's the way it goes some time.  Again
thanks to everyone that responded.
