SYMPTOMS
When you try to copy files between disks or between partitions in NTFSDOS Professional, the long file names (LFN) feature is not supported.

Note NTFSDOS Professional is a component of Winternals Administrator's Pak.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because LFN is supported only between NTFS partitions. LFN is not supported when you make file transfers from the file allocation table (FAT) to NTFS or vice versa.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use MS-DOS 7.0. Versions of MS-DOS that are earlier than MS-DOS 7.0 do not support LFN.
