I can't create any files on the root of a FAT partition.

A. The root of a FAT drive has a coded limit of 512 entries, so if you have exceeded this you will not be able to create any more files. I don't have this many! Remember Long File Names take up more than one entry, see the next FAQ for more information, so if you have many LFN's on the root this will drastically reduce the number of files you can have.
