Solve : Can not copy: Path too Deep? |
|
Answer» Can not copy: PATH too Deep. What I would suggest is that you copy the file over and over again, maybe like, 5 directories at a time or something like that. Then just move it up the drive until the path is shallow enough to copy. HuH ? ? Do you understand path structures ? ? If so ...how would this change anything ? ?Oh yeah my bad. That wouldn't work at all the path would stay the same lol. Ignore all given advice by me! (No kidding)K patio tell me whether this would work. (Unless he's already got the problem fixed) When you start typing on the command line, and are typing a longer path name like to "C:\Documents and Settings" (Which isn't really all that long but it works) you can start typing the name up to like "Doc" and then when you hit "tab" it completes the file name. The computer recognizes this in files by saying for example "Doc~1" or something like that with the "~" symbol substituting the tab key am I correct? So if he typed a little bit of every directory he went through and ended it with the "~1" would it still register to deep? Not sure...Won't work... You should fix your profile for PC Specs...it's broke. Quote from: Roguebantha on August 02, 2011, 10:06:01 AM K patio tell me whether this would work.

Not sure... the tilde and number are added to make the filename a 8.3 DOS filename. it has nothing to do with tab.Oh well...After looking over similar issues others have had, it seems to be one of those problems that you just can not get the clear answer. The message will pop up if there is hardware problem or network issues. Solved the problem by taking the laptop over to a router shared by both the Laptop and the De stop. Using wired Ethernet, it worked fine. (Before I was using the wireless.) But after that ordeal, the laptop drive gave out a few hours later. Must be a coincidence. Anyway, got the data of the drive before it died.Not knockin you here Geek or your customer but excessively long pathnames are a result of not knowing good solid file management skills... Saw a clients machine recently...her saved Word docs were nested 5 layers deep...it happens. Glad you were able to save the data nonetheless...Thanks Patio. You are right. If people really want long file names for documentation, they could instead get a special program or plug-in that allows COMMENTARY on any file. Oops. they already have that in Ms Word. Thanks for the info. You could also try "*SPAM*". It helped me with Error 1320 in Windows 7. Wow! firsts for me. Reply to thread I stated 2 1/2 tears ago. |
