Aovid copying problems on external FireWire hard drives
I suspect the problem you have is due to the different ideas of valid file names for HFS+ and VFAT32/NTFS. UFS+ is pretty forgiving and allows any (7bit?) character in filenames except '/' (note the Finder hides ':' chars as '/', but this is for the GUI only); VFAT doesn't allow any of the following: '\/:*?"<>|'.

Actually, in our testing here at Iomega, we have found that when a file transfer chokes on an MSDOS volume, it is usually a problem with an Icon resource. Try this - look in the folder/volume you're copying and see if you have a folder with a special icon. Delete or move that icon and the folder/volume will copy.

Delete or move that icon... How does one do this exactly? I have folders and folders of files that probably have icon info inside them somewhere... one in particular I have to click on "show package contents" then there are hundreds of files inside. Thanks. |
