Barn door Monday, May 19, 2008 at 12:35 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jerry (877 messages posted) Hi Gordon: This won't help you now, but it may help somebody who's just reading this thread because the "long file names" topic turned up in a search. I, too, have run into this "long name" problem. Fortunately, I discovered the problem in the archive copy before I deleted the original hard-drive versions. My rule of thumb is to always check the backup copy and make sure it will open properly before deleting the original. In the case of CDs and DVDs, check the copy IN ANOTHER COMPUTER. Sometimes disks will open in the drive in which they were burned, but will not open in another drive. Sorry I couldn't be of more help in your case.
