I am trying to use the internal memory on the frame to store my photos and when I go to do that it says The root of Drive I is formatted with the FAT file system and can only store a limited number of items. Store the items in a subfolder or reformat the drive using the NTFS file system??? Help!

First...make sure the format of the photos is
compatible with the frame...JPG would be the best
choice.
I'm guessing the frame has an SD memory card?
Do you have an internal or external media reader?
If_Yes_try the following steps......
Insert the SD Card in your media reader and go to...
Start / Computer.
The media reader should be recognized as one or
more Removable Disks and each will have a drive
letter.
Example:
Removable Disk (F:)
Removable Disk (G:)
Removable Disk (H:)
Left click each Removable Disk until you reveal the
Root Directory of the SD Card.
(If not....the frame (connected by USB) may be listed
as a Removable Disk)
OK...now that you know the drive letter...if you right
click a selected group of photos or a complete folder
you should be able to choose...Send to / Removable
Disk (?:)...this should copy the photos to the SD Card.
Be sure the photos are in one or more folders because
the number of photos you can copy to the root directory
will be very limited. And you will receive the following error:
"Cannot copy XXXX: The directory or file cannot be created"

You are correct if there is no internal memory. Most digital frames have a small amount of memory and this limits the number of photos that can be stored.
Pandigital photo frames are an ideal way to display your collection of
digital photos. You can view photos with or without a computer using
just a memorycard,
but it's always a good idea to transfer the photos you'll want to view
frequently to the internal memory of your frame. This is also a handy
way to back up your favorite images.
Transferring Photos from a Memory Card
Your digital photo frame's
built-in software will recognize six types of memory card: CF I/II, SD,
MS Pro, MMC and XD. Locate the slot on the back of the frame (to the
left of the stand) that corresponds with your type of memory card. These
are labeled as follows: SD/MMC/MSPro/XD, CF I/II, USB and mini USB.
Insert your memory card into the appropriate slot, power on your digital
frame, and it will automatically begin a slideshow using every
available image on your memory card. Note that only JPEG formats under
16 megapixels are compatible.
Transferring Photos from a PC
Use the USB cable that came with
your frame. Connect the mini USB end to the mini USB port on the back
of your frame; connect the large USB end to your computer's
USB port. Double-click the "My Computer" icon on your desktop or in
your Windows "Start" menu. You'll see that your computer has
automatically assigned a drive to your digital frame---look for a device
called "Removable Disk" followed by a letter (Removable Disk E:, for
example). This is the folder that represents the internal memory of your
digital photo frame; you will be dragging your photos into this folder.
Next, open the folder in which you store your photos ("My Pictures,"
for example). Select the photos you want to transfer to your frame. Drag
them to the drive associated with your digital photo frame---this is
the "Removable Disk" drive you located within the "My Computer" folder.
Every photo you selected will then be copied onto your digital frame.
After the files are copied, disconnect your digital frame properly.
If you don't, your frame's internal memory could be damaged. Look for
the system tray in your desktop's
lower right-hand corner. Left-click the icon that shows a gray box with
a green arrow on top of it. Select "Safely Disconnect Hardware." A
dialog box will appear, asking you to select the device to disconnect.
Select the digital frame and click "OK." When the dialog box appears,
click "Close." You'll see a message in the lower right hand portion of
your desktop telling you it's safe to disconnect your frame.
Copying Photos to Your Frame's Internal Memory
You can use your frame's remote
control to copy photos from your memory card or computer to the photo
frame's internal memory. Connect your photo source (computer or memory
card) and have your frame's remote control handy. Access the "Home"
screen on your frame using the "Home" button on your remote control or
by pressing the "Home" button on top of the frame. Next, choose "Photos"
and press "Enter." You'll see all your photos in thumbnail form. Scroll
through them with the up and down arrows. Press the "+" key to mark
photos you want to copy (use "-" to de-select a photo). When you've
selected all the photos you want to copy, press "Set Up," then "Copy
Photo," "Enter," "Selected" and "Enter." A dialog box will ask you to
confirm your selection; with the cursor on "Yes," press "Enter." The
photos you selected will be copied to the frame's internal memory.
I have a Mac and tried to drag and drop my photos as mentioned above. The results?
- Wiped all pictures off of the frame. - When I tried to reload from my laptop it shows "format not supported" as a placeholder for the pictures. The images are in jpg format.
This frame cannot initialize; this is an internal memory issue. Connect the frame to your computer with the USB cable and to the AC
outlet. Now turn it on. Under Computer or My Computer, look for a
Pandigital (X:) drive.
If you see that drive, right click on it
and select Format. Choose FAT or FAT32 as the file system, check
Quick Format, then Start. Once it finishes, unhook the frame and
restart it.
If you do not see that drive, your frame is toast.
Grab your receipt and return to the store or call the company.
Hello Sir #1 Insert your memory card into your computer's reader if you have one. If not, you can purchase a multi-format USB Memory Card reader from Amazon.com or Buy.com # 2 Open up 'My Computer'. You should see it under the list of available drives. # 3 Check its contents first to make sure that you have the right drive. # 4 In 'My Computer', right-click on the drive and choose 'Format'. # 5 Leave all the options as they are and click on 'Start'. This is a non-reversible process so make sure this is what you truly wanted to do in the first place. # 6 Once the process is completed, take the memory card out and insert it into your Digital Camera or any other device. Try to browse to it to make sure it works fine now.
In all likelihood, your SD card is formatted FAT and you are hitting the limit on number of objects in the root directory. Check the format type and if it is FAT, I would recommend reformatting as FAT 32 which has more lenient restrictions.
ALTERNATIVE: If you really do not want to reformat the card, you might try to remove a few pics to free up space in teh directory and then create a subfolder to store picture in. Object in this subfolder should not be counted at the root.
Please make sure that the photo files are in the root directory of the memory photoframe (ie, not within a folder).
That they are in a readable file format (.jpg)
Check to see that the frame is reading from the internal memory and not the card slot.
