I got the above error message when trying to rename a long file name. I thought it only happens in Windows xp or something, but I am running Windows 2000. What can be done to have longer filenames. Merry Xmas and thanks.

Yes, I am sure, but it has corrected itself after I format the unallocated partition also. Probably that has something to do with it. Anyway it seems to be ok now that I can name a long file name. Thanks.
