August 8, 200421 yr Hi all, Recently purchased a Maxtor 160GB USB external hard drive to backup all my flight simulator files. The drive was formatted Fat32 and I just converted my internal drive to NTFS and reinstalled Windows Home XP. Reinstalled FS9 and attempted to pull my backup FS9 folder off the new Maxtor to the internal drive. Have done this numerous times in the past off my 2nd internal drive . I keep getting a unable to copy box. Able to move a few individual files but unable to do any bulk copy/paste or cut/paste from the external drive. Also getting messages that some file names are too long. Had a hard time to begin with copying the files to the external drive but managed it and thought all was well. Now have approx 12GB of trapped flight sim files on the external drive. Not feeling too smart right now as probably should have spent about 1/3 the cost of the external for a good internal drive of the same size. Any suggestions ..... What am I missing ? Any help appreciated.....JayDub
