‘Unable to create directory’ error when importing my previous WP.com blog

Hello folks,

I’ve set up my new wordpress blog, and tried to import the old one that’s I’d saved on my old blog, which I then shut down.

This is the error message I got:

Unable to create directory D:\Hosting\4297755\html/wp-content/uploads/2009/04. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

The blog I’ve now closed down wasn’t updated much – there wasn’t much there to import over, so I won’t be heart broken if I have to start again.

However, I don’t want the error to crop up once I’ve really got going with the blog, so can anyone help as to why it’s coming up?

I don’t understand why it tried to create a directory on my D:\. Do you think it tried to create a temporary drive and when it found my physical hard drive there it got confused?
