FindFirst and FindNext not working on removable disk

[Kocky]

Hello guys,

I have written a program that can retrieve jpeg pictures from a source(camera, disk) and export these to the hard-drive and then grouping the pictures in sub-folders using the EXIF information in the jpeg like "date taken" to get a nice organized bunch of pictures.

The problem I am facing now is that it is not able to retrieve pictures from a removable disk. I attached my Casio EX-Z1080 digital camera which shows up under XP as drive "F:\". I can also browse the disk using the Windows explorer.

In my program I use the procedures "FindFirst" and "FindNext" but the application generates an exception "I/O Error 103". On a non-removable disk everything works fine. Any ideas what could be the problem ? Has it something to do with FAT/NTFS ?
And what API should I use instead ?

I am using Delphi7 Enterpise on a Windows XP Media Center 2005 edition PC.

Thanks,

Pascal.

Forget it. I solved it.
I changed the project options. The "Optimization" checkbox was turned on and this was causing the problem. Turned it off and now it is working perfectly.
