| Windows 7: File Name(s) Would Be Too Long for the Destination Folder |

File Name(s) Would Be Too Long for the Destination Folder Sorry if this is a repeat post but I’ve found so much about this issue that I’m bewildered & haven’t found a Fix. I’m 65 & legally blind so searching the net isn’t as easy as it used to be. I have one of a kind Family pics that if lost are gone forever so I back them up on 2 ext HD’s in case 1 HD goes bad. I keep getting the error message; File Name(s) Would Be Too Long for the Destination Folder. Does anyone have a fix for this or at this point I would be willing to buy an easy to use program. Thanks in advance, Mike. | My System Specs |

From what folder do you want to copy from?
to what folder do you want to copy to?
How do you read by the way if you're blind? Are text on screen (websites, error messages) be spoken? Very interesting to know. And how do you type? | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop System Manufacturer/Model Number ACER ASPIRE 5742G OS Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1 CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 370 @ 2.40GHz Motherboard Acer Aspire 5742G Memory 4,00 GB Graphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5400 Series Sound Card (1) AMD High Definition Audio Device (2) Realtek High Defi Screen Resolution 1366 x 768 x 32 bits (4294967296 colors) @ 60 Hz Hard Drives WDC WD5000BEVT-22ZAT0 |

I'm no doctor, but legally blind and completely blind are two different things, I believe. I was under the impression that being legally blind meant you can still see, under special circumstances with specific glasses and lenses, where as completely blind is just that...you see nothing. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU Intel Core i7-2600 Motherboard Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3P-B3 Memory 12 GB Patriot Extreme DDR3-1333 Graphics Card Nvidia GTX 470 Monitor(s) Displays Dell UltraSharp 2209WA PSU OCZ ModStream 700W Case CoolerMaster HAF 912 Advanced Cooling CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus Hard Drives OCZ Agility3 240 GB, WD5001AALS, WD7501AALS |

I copy folders with sub folders from my c drive to my 2 ext HD's & didn't have this problem with XP & even Vista. My pic folder is 217 gb so it would take 10's of hours to do it manually.
I have a big keyboard & use the magnifier to read along with super bright lighting. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number ZT Affinity 7602Mi Desktop PC OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

So you're copying from:
c:\users\fbdfbdfb\sadfsdfs\ all in that folder
to
d:\asdasda\rtery
??
But what is source and destination?
