I bought the Sandisk 32GB card from Verizon and am trying to transfer the data from the 8 to the 32.

Here's the problem........my 8GB card I named "ANDROID". When opened, all the subfolders of "ANDROID" showed.

Now after I transferred everything to the 32GB card, "ANDROID" is now a subfolder in the card (instead of "ANDROID" being the main folder of the card), and I keep getting four other subfolders along with "ANDROID".....albumthumbs, dcim, LOST.DIR, tessdata.

How do I make ANDROID the main folder on the card and get rid of those other subfolders? i tried formatting the card and reinstalling but the same thing is happening.

Also, with the new card, in my gallery, "camera shots" is now coming up as "100MEDIA", and I can't get rid of "All downloads" in the gallery even though it's unchecked.

Any idea whats happening?

I tried just dragging the old card to the new card, I tried copying the old card and pasting it to the new card, and I also tried DL'ing the old card to my Mac and then copying the new folder to the new card. All give the same result.
