__File names are larger than is supported by the file system

I tried to upgrade from Vista to 7, but the upgrade attempted to restore Vista.  To exit a loop of reboot, I started from the drive of W7 upgrade went to the command prompt and found a folder with subfolders 25.  After moving them to another directory, I was able to get the roll to Vista is complete.  I tried to delete the record with 25 subfolders.  But I get the error message "the folder contains items whose names are too long for the trash.  and "the names of source files are larger than is supported by the file system.  Try to move to a location that has a shorter path name, or try renaming to shorter name (s) before launching the operation".  I tried shift-delete to bypass the Recycle Bin, but it does not work.  I tried moving and able to copy to a different folder after what I was able to remove the old records but could not delete the new folder.  Now, for some reason any I can rename the subfolder name (they were all named "Downloads"), but when I did it it would create several subfolders named "downloads".  So now I have 60-70 subfolders, rather than the original 25.

Does anyone has a suggestion or a program to help me remove the offending folder?  Should I go on my recovery drive and recover Vista of the D: drive on the C: drive?  If this does not work, will it reformat the hard drive?  If I reformat, how to move to Windows 7?  Thanks for any help.

HII secoch ,

Thanks for posting your queries.

I hope you have this problems, but this forum is to help everyone, I want something here too, I did too and it really helped.

First thing is you do not need to download all programs for this.

Like, Windows has problems dealing with extra long path/filenames. If the
combination of the names of access road and closer to 255 characters (127 for
Windows 95/98/me) Windows probably not manage it well, if you try to remove or
Rename it (you can create it, but not change it). The first
thing is trying to rename some of the files which lead to the queue
himself. The directory displayed a level of return, and then select Rename the
folder the file is located in. Try a single letter (of course, to keep a record of what
folder you called that so you can reverse the process!). Then, return to the
file and see if Windows then you can rename or remove. Otherwise, go back
yet another folder and rename this one and so on. At some point, you should be
be able to find a series of folder names of reduced length which you can then
Rename the file to a name that is short enough to allow you to recreate then
the original directory tree and still work with the file in question.  In fact, the main goal is to try to make the shortest path of length instead of only the file name and the folder name.

I also hope that this help option.  If this isn't the case, please after return or PIN me.

    OK, so I don't know how it happened, but for some reason I have this folder on my external hard drive, that whenever I try to delete it, I get this error: http://i45.tinypic.com/1h6o7b.jpg
    Now, after receiving this error, I tried the obvious thing to do, rename the folder and try to delete it again, only to have the opposite effect on me. For some reason whenever I have any rename the folder it automatically creates another folder in the newly renamed folder. As you can tell by the small bar of directory at the top of the screen shot I tried to rename the folder repeatedly. So now I'm stuck with a bunch of files without value with nothing in it at all without being able to delete them. If I rename the folders, then when I get to the end it is what seems to be a folder but when I right click on it I have virtually no options as http://i46.tinypic.com/34xlzf9.jpg seen. This is really driving me crazy that I want to keep my files organized, so does anyone have any ideas what I could do? This is someone who has exactly the same problem I have the link at the bottom here. I tried to shift + delete to bypass the trash can and the last file on a network drive mapping.

  • How/where are the financial reports stored on the file system of the server?

    We recently lost a large part of our reports on our server. We cannot understand what the restore directory location in order to get these reports back. Where is the default directory for 11.1.2.2 financial reports? And in what format the reports are being saved?

    EN reports can be found in the file system of the operating system (o/s), but the EMP workspace hierarchy (folders, tree, etc.) are stored in the database of repository Hyperion bi +.

    On the system of operating system files, the reports are stored in RM1 folder under folder "C:\oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\ReportingAnalysis\data\RM1\root".

    The names of the reports placed here are UUID (identifiers of long - not the actual names).

    For example:

    When a report is created with the name 'My report' in Studio Financial Reporting, by connecting to the EMP workspace will be available in the name of financial reports/folder where it was saved.

    the actual report will be stored in a subfolder of the RM1\root folder on the file system.

    The file name will be a unique identifier (not the real name of the report is 'my report')

    It will be generated 'on the fly' based on various things such as the date and time on the server (i.e. 0000012f5af72b1a-0000-ec71-c0a8006c.00000130510b77bb-0000-5133-c0a8006c.1)

    The meta-data for this report ('My report', that is in the folder in the workspace, the date of the change of the report, permissions on this report, etc) will be stored in the Hyperion bi + DB as an object in an encrypted table. Financial reporting knows what metadata in the Hyperion bi + DB which corresponds to the report, in the file 'RM1\root' because all rows in the table for that object in the Hyperion bi + PB related to 'My report' will be referenced using the UUID of the file (for example 0000012f5af72b1a-0000-ec71-c0a8006c.00000130510b77bb-0000-5133-c0a8006c.1)

    Note: The location of the folder of RM1 differs with each facility's operating system.

  • Rate Audio not supported in the file. HELP PLZ

    I'm far from being comfortable with all programs of this type, so please bear with me. I am doing a slideshow for my Peewee team and I'm up to the wire to it. I bought PE4 in an attempt to open some options for our slideshows (my wife has already used Roxio but I wasn't happy with it). I'm trying to take a video that I've transferred from VHS to DVD using a Magnavox dubbing system. I am trying to take the video of the dvd and put it in PE4, so that I can put music on the video (the things in the crowd were not always things that grade 5 students should hear when they look at their video of the season). I succumbed to the import of files in PE4. I always get the same error message: "audio rate not supported in the file. I tried to convert the dvd to AVI using "Next Video Converter 3.0" and even "DVD Shrink 3.2" & "AutoGK".» I even tried to convert it to AVI using NVR and leaving out of the audio file. I still get the same message. Please someone help me with this. I am against the ropes here, and I don't want to disappoint my boys.

    I tried to find help by reading some of the other posts here, but to be honest that I was not able to make heads or tails of any of them. I don't really understand this kind of thing, and when people start talking about codecs etc, this is no logic for me. Any help in plain English would be appreciated.

    Thanks,-Rsvl Jedi

    The challenge is that these VHS to DVD dubbing sometimes systems use codecs (compression systems) for their video and audio that don't Digest well in programs such as Premiere Elements.

    The simplest solution is to convert DVD files (which are the VOBs) to DV - AVI using a program called MPEG Streamclip. Instructions where to find it and what are the settings to use in the FAQ on the right of this forum.

    http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/415317?TSTART=0

    A much simpler way to do this, is to let the DVD on the move of the VHS to digital completely. You can do this by using a device called a DV bridge. You plug your camcorder VHS or player inside and it connects (via FireWire) on your computer. The files it creates on your computer are DV - AVI, the ideal format for editing in Premiere Elements.

    I recommend the ADS Pyro AV Link. It sells for less than $150, and it will be more profitable for itself in a few weeks, if you do this kind of dubbing VHS regularly. The FAQ have more information about it and other DV devices. (Do not use cheaper scanners, like the Dazzle unit, incidentally. It only will lead to more headaches.)

  • How to create a document based on the name of a file in the file system?

    Hello

    With lots of photos, I like to have a database to collect information on these photos.

    First question is how to generate a record based on a file in the file system?
    for example, the images are "c:\fotos\2009\01\disc_001.jpg" to "c:\foto\2009\01\dis_98.jpg".
    now, I want to create folders with as one of the attributes of the name of the image (not the image itself). How to create these records (based on information from line-telephony). that is the number of records must be the same as the number of photos.

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

  • Updated data are larger than the buffer cache

    Hi Experts,

    I have a small request. I have a table called CONTENT to have 12 GB of data. Here, I pulled a single update statement that updates to 8 GB of CONTENTS table of data using 1 GB of database buffer cache?

    How 1 GB of the Database Buffer Cache will be used to update the 8 GB of data? Level architectural any additional changes will happen (than usual) when executing "Updated data is larger than the buffer cache"?

    Could someone of you please response. Thank you

    Database: 10.2.0.5

    OS: Power 5-64 bit AIX system

    Hello

    the basic mechanism is the following:

    needed to update data blocks are read from the data files and cached in memory (buffer cache), the update is made to the buffer cache and the front of the (UNDO) image is stored in the segments of cancellation, operation (update here) is re-encoded to redo buffer until it goes again files If the buffer is samll or we need more space in the buffer cache, or we have a control point or... Oracle writes back the block modified data files to free the memory buffer for the more blocks.

    While the other runs the update of transactions can read before you change the image of CANCEL if validation, at the end of the transaction done change is confirmed and validation is recorded in the redo. If the cancellation is made at the end of the transaction before the image is "restored" and rollback is saved in do it again.

  • Reinstalled Vista on my Gateway computer. There are 2 users, how to find the files saved by Windows before reinstalling?

    My C drive was blue screens so that I couldn't get into my computer and it became useless. I'm a total computer not so smart person, (politically correct too) :) In any case, after finding how to get in safe mode and fishing around a solution, I got the solution from scratch. It was April, which should give you an idea how well informed, I am when it comes to such things.

    So I took the option that would save all user files before reinstaling the operating system which is original bought the 2008 version. Vista 32-bit. Yes I know it's old but it works again. So since then I tried to get it updated and secure. Gateway won't help me at all, of course, out of warranty and all. So I downloaded the service Pack 1 and 2 for vista and all the security updates and Microsoft security essentials and IE9. So now I'm finally back to normal, which I think is a relative term.

    So now, I want to find all the files of the user who have been registered by windows before the reinstall took place. My folders and files from my sister. Treatment of text and pictures and stuff.

    Once I found how to make their return to where I am and where it is?

    You are welcome.

    Unfortunately, you have not yet told how you have saved the files.

    If you used the Auromatic backup gateway, they say that the files are in the C:\Backup folder on the hard drive.

    You will need to open that folder and either copy and paste or drag and drop them where you want them to be.

    It's a question you'd have to ask Gateway:

    If you sustained yourself using Vista DVD files or an external hard drive, is how do to the files from the point upwards.
