I have a big problem in my hands, Please, Help me solve it.
So, here it is:

I installed Windows 7068 in my Asus G2s Notebook, and everything worked just fine for like 2 months. But, the 7100 version was released, and i wanted it, so i backed some important files up, and formatted my computer. The installation was fine, but, when i was restoring my files from the backup, there was a particular file that wouldn't copy.

It is Fallout 3.iso file. I tried copying it like, 10 times, and everytime i tried to copy, it would stop at 2.4gb +-. After it stopped, explorer wouldnt respond, and its process couldn't be finalized. So, the only solution was to shut down the computer. I tried many things, to see if i could solve the problem (without any sucess)

-Gave full permission to the Folder and Hard Drive
-Tried to copy the file inside the HD and copy it again to my hard drive, but even copying inside the HD, it would stop at 2.4gb.
-Tried many other things, with no sucess.

Until i tried it on my mom's XP Notebook. I copied it, and on 2.4 GB it would say : Cannot copy Fallout3.iso Path is too Deep

Tried everything, but none of it worked.

Please help me, i'm desperate.

Note: Fallout 3 is on a External 2.5 Hard Drive
Note2: The file weigh's 5.52 GB

Helpful note: I'm trying to copy the file from:
E:\Fallout 3.iso
To:
C:\Users\Alex\Desktop


Thank you very much, i really want your help.
Alex.

That last error message is odd, it's almost like the copy is actually looking INSIDE the iso for some reason as it is copying, as if it were copying a folder.

It is (and always has been) easy to programatically create a path longer than the windows UI can handle. It's entirely possible that a long path was put into the ISO purposely to prevent copying (though I still don't know why the windows UI would be looking into the iso)

I guess you have tried copying it from the command line?

Might also try renaming the file to a.b and then try copying that to c:\ and renaming it back...

Or use another file copy tool and not windows itself to copy it.

Path is limited in length so probably there are folder inside folders inside folders.... What you can do is to use powerISO to open the *.iso a piece at a time if you have to. expand the files to a single folder (as close to the top layer as you can) then xcopy them to where ever they need to be.

Hope this helps

Thank you very much for your help, but it stopped copying at 41.5%.
Same symptoms, it wouldn't close and it wouldn't respond.
I had to reboot the computer. But that doesn't matters.
What can i do to help diagnosing the problem?

Thanks,
Alex.

Path is limited in length so probably there are folder inside folders inside folders.... What you can do is to use powerISO to open the *.iso a piece at a time if you have to. expand the files to a single folder (as close to the top layer as you can) then xcopy them to where ever they need to be.

Hope this helps

I'm sorry, but i didn't understand very well.
What did you mean by opening a iso piece at a time and expanding it to a single folder?

Thanks,
Alex.

That last error message is odd, it's almost like the copy is actually looking INSIDE the iso for some reason as it is copying, as if it were copying a folder.

It is (and always has been) easy to programatically create a path longer than the windows UI can handle. It's entirely possible that a long path was put into the ISO purposely to prevent copying (though I still don't know why the windows UI would be looking into the iso)

I guess you have tried copying it from the command line?

Might also try renaming the file to a.b and then try copying that to c:\ and renaming it back...

Or use another file copy tool and not windows itself to copy it.

Hello.
How can i program to create a path longer than Windows UI can handle?
Ah, and i already tried TeraCopy or something like that, it didn't work.
And im going to try the a.b thing. Be Right back with ur answers.







Please don't give up, i really need this game :P
Thanks, Alex.

The Windows UI and shell can only handly path names of 260 characters or less, but the NT file system and kernel can actually handle file names as long as 2 or 4k or something.

I once accidentally worte code that created a recursive folder that was > 260 characters deep and getting rid of it was a chore. Had to write more code to traverse it and delete itself recursivly the same way it was created.

But it just ocurred to me that its also entirely possiuble that the file (the file system actually) is corrupted on your source media. meaning that nothing short of a deep disk repair untility will get it off and then there may be missing data. The path name too long error may be a red herring caused by a broken file system :/

Maybe some kind of ISO inspection program can try to open it and browse the contents? See if it is really all there?

Well, you see, i did one time accidentally shut the Hard Drive by an accident down ( It had Optimize for Performance on Device Manager.
So, should i run a Check Disk?

Which ISO inspection program would you recommend?

Thank you,
Alex.

Try PowerIso, or Isobuster.

They should be able to let you see what's inside - the free versions will do.

You may find you can move it with a bootable disc that has a File Manager.

If you have a Paragon product , they have the File transfer wizard on the boot disc, otherwise they do a freebie that also has it - try booting the cd and copy it new location.

Once you know it has copied properly, delete the old one.

There is no need of any assistance furtherly :)
Thank you all, but the file was actually corrupted.
Somehow, the most important file of my backup was targetted to be corrupted (by bill gates lolz) :P

Well, i'm just downloading it. It is legal isn't it?
If i bought it legally, and lost it, i can download it, right?

Thank you all,
Alex.

I suppose, as long you use the product key you bought, and not a cracked one.

A lot of people would say no, but most of those people are CEO's of major software/music/movie companies. =P

I'd say yes as you are entitled to use a product you paid for. :)
