volume label is too long

[calhoun]

I transferred some data to my USB drive. ( right click-send to E I went to
retrieve it and get the message the volume label is too long. Then I tried
to retrieve some older data, that I had previously been able to access, and
get the same message. It ends up I get the same message for all files on the
USB drive. This drive has always worked and never been on any other machine.
Any ideas what causes this message and how to get too the files?
Thanks

Did you name the USB drive, I'm not sure if that is it but if you have set
the drive label to something long it might be.

Thanks for your reply. I didn't name the drive. I just inserted it and XP
named it E: I have, successfully, used it and some of the files on it
before.
