'Pathway too long' notice when trying to recover files from external hardrive.
When I backup my work files from my documents to Seagate FreeAgent (External Hardrive) and then send the documents back to a folder on my desktop from the hardrive to make sure everything was copied, it says the pathway is too long . I understand that this is because my file names are too long. I understand Microsoft will only allow a certain number of characters on a file name and this limit includes files within files. Is there a download form microsoft that will correct the problem so i dont have to rename all my files and can have longer - more descriptive file names ?1 person got this answerI do too
