Q24   When copying files to root directory on Googleusb OnlyDisk, when files exceed 200,
         but capacity has not reached limit yet, computer suggest "disk space is full",
         and cannot continue copy files to it.

A24   Flash Disk is using FAT data system, root directory storage area is fixed, according to
         FAT file system standard, root directory is comply with MSDOS 8.3 format, theoratically
         can store upto 510 files (including directories). On Windows95 or later versions of OS,
         theoratically can store upto 254 files(and directories) if it is 8.3 format. If not 8.3 format,
