Simple copy but getting error

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hello:

I need to copy 250 GB of date from a network drive to a USB hard drive. I
am using the normal copy/paste technique, but I am hitting a problem. The
copy goes fine until it gets to a problem file then I get an error message
"Cannot remove folder [NAME_OF_FILE]: The filename or extension is too
long". I tried doing a xcopy and ran into even more problems with the
syntax. The network share is on a Windows 2003 server.

Does anyone know of an technique to force this? Any help or advice would be
greatly appreciated.
