My Win 98 laptop recently failed and I had the entire
harddrive backed up onto two DVDs by a local technician
with the hardware capability to do so. Now, I am trying
to copy files and folders from the DVDs to a Windows
laptop, and many of them are not transferring.
The cause SEEMS to be due to the length of the file name.
Since I did not due the backup, I do not know what
settings were used (i.e. ISO), but I was told that they
used standard ISO with Joliet enabled to maintain the
original directory/folder/file name length.
I am able to transfer the files to the old Windows 98
laptop (barely) and open them there, but I am not able to
transfer them to the Windows XP laptop.
Is there anyone out there with some ideas?
