"File Name Too Long" when copying files on USB using Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)

When I copy about 60 GB of library files in a backup folder on a USB key, at the end of the copy, it is a dialog box indicating "file name too Long for the Destination Folder.  It shows that there are 62 records like that, and I can choose to ignore these files.

1. I had formatted the USB stick to NTFS - which does not allow large file names?

2. How can I see which files have this problem so I can shorten the file names?

Thank you!

Hello

What is the capacity of the USB?

Were you able to copy before?

Try to format the drive once and then try and check if it is beneficial because it can also happen when there are viruses.

You can also check the drive for errors.

Here is the link:

It will be useful.

  • Large (100 gig +) file transfer fails in Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

    Hello

    I ran out of sensible troubleshooting options and am hoping that someone on the forum may be able to provide a solution or additional troubleshooting ideas.

    Scenario: I created a 178 concert file, an image of my old laptop XP file to be used for a virtual machine, on an external drive of USB3 for import to my new Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit computer laptop (ASUS N61JQ i7, 4Gig of DDR3 RAM). Operation failed for copy of file on the Win 7 machine (current patches, drive D:, NTFS, 250 free concerts), without error messages, regardless of the method.

    Troubleshooting:

    Removes the file structure - exemplary fine for XP SP3 on a different machine, a smaller version (image of the C: drive only) copies very well to new laptop Win7 and creates the virtual machine that works.

    Eliminated the USB drive - used 2 different drives

    Eliminated from the USB - used Ports all three USB 2 and 3 ports and all failed, tried mapping to machine XP and do a drag and drop and copy and paste and even set up a ftp server on the Win 7 and tried machine download failed him via gigE and 802.11nall.

    More advice in this forum and others, I downloaded Teracopy who do not - this failed with a message indicating that "the operation failed due to a file system limitation", but wikipedia shows the limit of file of an order of magnitude larger than my 16 TB file.

    I also tried PowerShell coming to stop the copy without error message (resource monitor showed no activity on the external drive - the source of the file).

    I also have:

    • tried disabling / uninstalling antivirus
    • run the copy in safe mode
    • I tried to find answers in the newspaper of the events without success.

    All seemed to fail somewhere after 100 gig mark. Often (but not always) failures caused strange behavior, including being unable to , unable to task switch, unable to stop. Often (but not always) a power switch reboot was necessary. My suspicion is that the copy of file is using some pool of memory that is needed by other processes of basic and cause misfortune wide system.

    Interestingly, a new file by concatenating a line of 50 concerts three times for 150 gig in the same location as the destination file, a new file in target in the same place creating worked!

    After having exhausted the limits of my personal creativity I now submit this problem to the collective wisdom of the tribe. A big thank you in advance, Richard.

    Success!

    I tried another file copy utility FastCopy http://ipmsg.org/tools/fastcopy.html.en, he also failed, but with a slightly different error message:

    "The requested operation was not successful due to a file system limitation665"

    Search on Google that the message has led to this article:

    http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/winserverfiles/thread/e0d55018-CF06-43ca-8e20-dd2bb8494c96

    ... his fundamental premise - de-Frag - did not help (drive was off fragmented already), but the link internally to:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc781134%28WS.10%29.aspx

    which is a NTFS bible made me think on the compression of files and directories and of course the compression in this directory was put on, I never use the disk compression so I don't know how it's happened, but once set to 'off', the flow of the copy more than doubled and the copy proceeded until the end!

    Things that Microsoft might want to address:

    • I don't see anything in the literature suggesting there is a limitation to the compression of files. Fixing it, or the weakness of advertising would be a good thing
    • None of the built-in tools advised of an error or managed properly, one would think that NTFS has been mature enough so that it would no longer be a problem.

    Sort of, it's fixed now:

    Solution: COMPRESSION SET OFF

    Best regards and happy new year

  • How to configure a printer LPT when adapted to use a USB Port - Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit

    I have a computer that does not have an LPT port, and the printer that I want to use (EPSON Stylus Color 850) is not a USB Port or Ethernet.  I bought a cable USB2LPT and attempted to get the printer to work.

    My problem seems to be the choice of the port to use.  Here are the steps I followed:

    1. pick "Add a printer" of the control panel. Printers
       2 choose 'Add a local printer' (even if using the USB Port, like when I plugged the USB cable into the computer, I received the message installing driver recognition but not familiar "bong".)
       3 selected "use an existing port.
       4 select "USB001 (virtual printer to USB Port) - it was my best estimate of the long list provided."
       5 choose the EPSON Stylus Color 850 ECP2/PCS.

    The pilot was then installed without error and tried to print a test page which is that hangs without error.

    I deleted the printer then tried to assign the LPT1 port.  No help here either.

    If someone can help me with the installation, so I can get my documents to print I would appreciate it a lot.

    Thank you

    Dave

    You do not have an LPT port.  When you select the LPT port data are always written him even if your computer does not have the hardware installed to make it work.  It would work if you have installed a parallel PCI Port card.

    USB001 would be the first choice, then USB002...

    The next step as Fouzan points out is to contact the supplier of cable or Epson for support of printer you.  Start by Epson.

    You can try other cables, parallel PCI card or another printer. Alan Morris Windows printing team; Here Microsoft Knowledge Base search: http://support.microsoft.com/search/Default.aspx?adv=1

    Hello

    I'm looking for a way to download the ISO of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
    The links on the site seem to be 2 years old and have led me to X 17-58997. ISO, but it seems to be a dated version that is not recognized.
    Thanks for the help!

    Original title: Windows 7 ISO

    While trying to load the files on the USB key, I get an error "error when copying windows installation files."

    Make sure that the USB device is formatted in FAT32 first. If you use the USB/DVD tool, try connecting the USB on a different USB port on the system, avoid using USB 1.1 or the front panel ports.

  • need an iso file to install windows for windows vista Home premium 32-bit

    I have a product key, but need Windows vista Home Premium (32 bit) ISO because I lost the part recovery partition

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • A backup copy of programs of productivity on a windows 7 Home premium 64-bit PC back to a new windows 7 Professional 64 bit PC?

    My task: I backed up all productivity software to a windows 7 home premium 64 - bit PC (which is currently retired) on an external hard drive. I want to use several of these programs on a new PC running windows 7 Professional 64 bit OS. I think I may have several ways to accomplish this task and seeks your advice on the following techniques.

    1. I could remove the hard drive from the old PC and use it as a second hard drive in the new PC. If I do that I must leave the operating system on the drive?

    2. can I just restore my backup to the new PC?

    3. even though I have the original program CD, license restrictions limit the number of times, some programs can be installed and activated. I have addressed the issues of licensining to several software manufacturers of my software, including shade (by PaperPort, Omnipage, etc.) and am waiting for answers.

    4. I also consider the creation of a system dual boot, but I believe that the windows 7 Home Edition premium OS should be the default OS. This change would probably cancel my warranty with HP.

    5 Please, don't limit your answers to the above ideas. I would appreciate your help or suggestions on the best way (if any) to accomplish my task.  Thank you.

    Programs don't return because there is more than one program that just running the main folder.

    When a program installs it puts the files in the Windows system folders. If these files are not present in the active operating system, they most likely will not work. Much depends on how dependent of the program is on files in system folders.

    If you have the original CD for the programs in question, re - install. Relative to the license, as long as the programs are installed and running on a single computer ONLY, there should be no problem at all...

    When you program discs, there is no point in dual-boot. Don't make life more difficult for yourself...

    Hello, I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit and my diagnosis tool DirectX says that my current version is DirectX 11, but when I try to run space engineers and use a world with planets, he tells me that I need to run DirectX 11. When I go to my DirectX folder, it says that I am running DirectX 9.0, I'm very confused and internet only helped me at all up to this point. All suggestions/help and help will be greatly appreciated.

    Well, is it not a strange ball game? Minimum = DX9 and DX11 for planets.

    Looks like no shore leave for you then... :)

    "When I go into my file DirectX it tells me that I'm running DirectX 9.0"

    Direct X folder?

    Win7 has DX9, 10 & 11. However, older graphics cards are not be able to use DX11 (or DX10 if old enough).

    It comes to graphics cards which are older than AMD HD 5000 (version ' 09) and Nvidia GTX 400 (exit 10) series.

    EDIT: This also applies to the older map HD4000 Intel integrated graphics (Inc., HD3000, and all the "GMA" graphic integrated).

    ----------------------

    -Here is a list of the .dll Direct X files you when files are updated.
    There are more files DX (Xinput and audio), but these are most of the graphs related to Direct X .dll

    Go to Windows / System 32 folder (and SysWOW64 if you have 64-bit).
    -They are in alphabetical order and begin by d3dx9_24.dll > 43. Then d3dx10 - 33 43 >
    . & Finally d3dx11 - 42 43 >.
    It should also be--d3d9, d3d10 and d3d11. These come before the D3Dcompilers - 33 > 43.

    If all of these files is missing update Direct X using the DX Web Installer.

    Download DirectX end-user Runtime Web Installer from the official Microsoft Download Center

    What is the difference, if it has Service Pack 1? In fact, you must agree with SP1 from RTM images are no longer supported.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.
