Hi,

I rebuilt my machine last week. I backed up all contents
and then restored them onto the machine.

The proble now is that everything that has been restored
(File Wise) has only 8 characters and all UPPER CASE
letters? Does anyone know how this could have happened
and is there a solution to this problem?

Any ideas greatly welcomed.

Kind Regards

Peter Flint.
 
Hi Peter,

How did you back the contents of you machine?

The problem you are experiencing is the infamous MS-DOS
Fallback of file names to 8.3.

There should be a program to restore this problem under
Windows 95. Though I'm not sure if there is a program to
restore your file names under Windows XP.

Thanks for the reply.

I backed up using the usual Nero drag and drop.

What is the tool I can use for windows XP to restore the
files.

Kind Regards.
