HDD GURU FORUMS

Toshiba laptop 1.86 Pentium M, winxp media center edition service pk3

Hello, i purchased a WD 1TB my book external HD and then i reformatted it and changed it from fat32 to ntsf. its working fine except when i try to backup the my documents folder by drag and drop, i repeatedly get error mess saying some file or folder has a name thats to long and cant be copied. when i click the OK button the coping process stops and i have try to find the offending file and delete it. and then start the backup again. its becoming a real pain. is there some workaround? maybe some software that will fix it or a change i can make to my comp? any help welcomed. thanks.

Try Ycopy.
It copies all files and makes a report when a file cannot be copied for some reason.
The copy-process will not be stopped by the error.
