227861	2004-04-07 07:39:00	Sorry I am new to this.. I use XP Home Edition. The file are burn on to CD's as iso and I am trying to reinstall them onto a new hard drive. Thanks	waituke (5406)
227862	2004-04-07 08:13:00	Several possibilities for this error. A faulty burn on the CD-R (more common when using a CD-RW) Copy protection on a file or CD that its been copied from (such as a game) File content that mimics an error and triggers the message Invalid characters or too many (>127) characters in a file name and path. In all cases there is usually no cure, you may need to resort to the original CD. Is the CD designed to be copied onto the HDD, or run from the CD only? This error is quite common with VCDs and their DAT files, where the VCD will still play but will not copy. There is no error tolerance when copying.	godfather (25)

227864	2004-04-08 03:41:00	What does a directory of the CD look like? Does it say "something.iso", or does it appear as a normal directory? If the files have been written as an ".iso" file on the CD rather than used to produce a "disk" containing MS readable files, there might still be a way. One problem is that MS has been totally irresponsible in their "Backup" software. It has been impossible to read files produced with older versions of MS software.	Graham L (2)
