Error Copying File or Folder

[Guest]

I am getting the following error when trying to copy music files from a
Maxtor external hard drive:

"Cannot Copy Get A Job _Stand Down Margaret: Invalid MS-DOS function."

The file name is 'Get a Job _Stand Down Margaret' a song by The English Beat.

Any insight on how I can resolve this is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Try renaming the file first, leaving out the underscore. I don't know
if that will help or not. In some places, long filenames and spaces
between names are ignored, or cause errors. Try placing the filename in
quotes as you copy it:

copy "Get a Job _Stand Down Margaret" "C:\my documents\my music"

from the original folder, for example.
