116374 2003-01-24 21:52:00 Hey I hope someone can help me.

Recently i backed up all my mp3 files to CD and then reformated the computer. Problem is, when trying to transfer the files back to the computer some of the files get a Invalid MS-DOS function error.

What does this mean? And how can I get around it?

It may help.

I posted the exact same question yesterday. Heres what you do......

Put your CD in the CD drive, Double-click My Computer selecting Explore. All the files on your CD should then be visible in the right window and you can drag whichever ones you want into whatever folders you choose that are in the left window

116377 2003-01-25 23:38:00 I've tried that, I still get the same error. Jayde (3070)
116378 2003-01-26 00:03:00 Hi again Jayde,

When you put the CD in your CDWriter/CDRom, can you play the contents in you media player. I use Musicmatch jukebox

116379 2003-01-26 01:28:00 What is the exact "Invalid MS-DOS function error"? Or is that the exact text? :D I wonder if you are running into the pathlength limit. Graham L (2)
116380 2003-01-26 03:12:00 Yes thats what someone else on another board suggested but they didn't say whether there was a solution to it.

I did manage to get a few more on to the hard drive with the program from that URL someone posted a few replies earlier.

Thanks for the help guys
