long filename recovery question
have had a couple of drives in recently for data extraction and found
myself renaming many files with long filenames [paths] before thay can be copied to arnother drive or burnt to cd....[filenames not conforming with joliet standards] is there an easy way to accomplish file transfer with out manually renaming the filenames exceeding 255 character limit? why does MS OS allow us to use long filenames and then not allow copying to other volumes?? thanks relloman

Long filenames have been part of Windows (FAT&NTFS) for 10 years now.
If you don't get long names on CD-R then you are doing something wrong. I don't use Joliet, I use the superior UDF.
