I have a multiboot system of NT, 2k, XP and 2003 for test purposes. While trying to backup a folder of saved webpage articles I created in MyDocuments in XP I get an error no matter what OS I am booted into. For example when in 2k I got the following error: ERROR COPYING FILE OR FOLDER -cannot copy file: File system error (1148) There is enough disk space for the copy, there are no encrypted files or folders in this directory, there are no special attributes at all, except I have some long folder and file names that Windows accepted upon creation so I assumed they were ok, but when I tried to "reset permissions on all child objects and enable propagation of inheritable permissions", I got this error for several files and folders: ERROR APPLYING SECURITY - The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect So I went to one of those directories mentioned in the above error and tried to copy the actual folder it mentioned and nothing happens, so I tried the one next to it that has a very similar long filename and got the following error: ERROR COPYING FILE OR FOLDER - Cannot copy file: The filename you specified is invalid or too long. Specify a different filename. I also cannot even open some of these folders or right click on them and get properties. I ran a virus scan, scandisk, etc and no problems !! ******* Is there anyway to copy these files and folders with a registry edit or a 3rd party product ???? I tried doing so from every OS on my multiboot system and failed. Thanks for your help

You need to be a little more specific. Where are you copying the files from? Where are you copying the files to?
