Is there a limit to the amount of pictures/files that can be copied to a compact flash card?

I have a 1 GB card and can only transfer 255 MB to it.

Is there a limit to the amount of pictures/files that can be copied to a compact flash card?
To format it put it in your digital camera and go to the options for it and you will find format normally under card settings that may help but if your card is 1GB you can fill it up with 1GB worth of stuff and if you can't something is wrong with your card if you haven't had it too long maybe try taking it back to the store you got it from and trading it or go to a camera shop and if they deal with digital cameras they probably could help you
Reply:Yes There is! Your compact Flash card is fomat in a way so that number will be very, very high. But the allocation table has a limit, everything does!
Reply:Of course, there's a limit for everything.
Reply:The memory card is probably formated so that you can have files on there but at the same time use the CF for pictures in your camera. Their really shouldnt be a limit on how many files you put onto your compact flash. Check your properties.
Reply:Are you transfering them through a camera? Many cameras have a limit to how much they can read. If you have an older camera it's possible the max read is 256. You camera would ignore the rest.
