Just formatted my 1Gig Sandisk Ultra II MS card. I copied around 800mb data to the card in one "drag and drop" and no problems there. Took around 40-50mins and everything is intact. Then, I just drag and drop back to the computer and around 5mins (20-30mb copied), I just experience the same thing (parameter is incorrect, removable drive empty). If it's not firmware problem, it must be compatibility with my memory stick. I'm going to try another MS from my friend later. Hopefully if anyone got this problem or encountered anything like this, post their findings / solutions to this thread! Thanks a million~

I've also encountered the same problem. You just need to disconnect the usb and reconnect again and everything will still be there.

I see.... well as long as the files arent lost. I'd get so pissed when and if that happens. I'm still stuck on R1N and the ms duo bug has played on me twice. But lucky I backup my photos and videos..

The main point here is that files aren't being lost anymore. That is a plus. But, this bug is a major failing in SE's beta testing and a royal pain in the arse!!! This bug has been evident from within minutes of me updating to R1AA008. In the previous release I never lost access to the MS in Windows Explorer. But now, as soon as you get a parameter is incorrect error you have to (safely)disconnnect the phone, reconnect it and start again. Over and over it goes until you get your files copied across. Also, in previous F/W's access to the phone memory via SE File Manager would disconnect and then auto reconnect. But, it never caused the phone to reset as is the case with the R1AA008 F/W. Extremely poor Q/A by SE!!!!!! I want job as an SE beta tester as I am 999% sure I could do a far better job!! I'll probably do it cheaper too!!! How on earth did they miss this??? Technically these phones (w800 and k750) are failing to meet their claimed functionality. This is unacceptable given the high price tags on these phones. If anyone is very disappointed and can't wait until the problem is sorted out, you should have valid grounds for a full refund.

@mongoose3800

I'm glad I'm not alone facing this problem. I don't mind if the picture loads a bit slower, the bitrate of the video a bit poor. But, what good is a phone with half working transfer of files to and from the computer? What would other's say if I transfer pictures to my friend's computer and he saw me disconnecting and reconnecting the USB before I can completely transfer 40 pictures? How do I recommend to my friends that this IS the phone they want to get? It's just pissing me off that the OLD firmware works perfectly and the new ones, after THREE MONTHS of develpment and testing, they still can't get it right. I'd appriciate that they have some sort of way for us to REVERT back to the old firmware the official way. I don't want to break my warranty. Just to let you know mongoose3800, I'm just as pissed as you are.........

Did you mean, you have no problems when copying from computer to phone? That's the same symptom as me. At least we have one more person waiting for SE to sort this problem out......It's going to be another long wait until SE releases another firmware that fixes this bug.... (appearantly only affects some people)
