Hello Friends/ Experts

I have replaced my old motherboard to new one and have installed XP but now the problem is that when i am trying to copy file to my external storage ( Pen Drive or Mp3 Player ) its giving error as "Cannot copy path is too deep". Kindly help me with this problem.

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

It is possible that there is an issue with file permission as you have installed a fresh copy of your OS...

Please right click on folder and click properties.. Go to the Security TAB and make sure, full permission is given to user "Everyone"..

See if it solves your problem or not..

I think this is caused by a bug in SP2. USE A USB PORT
ON THE BACK OF THE PC WHICH IS MOUNTED DIRECTLY ON THE MOTHERBOARD.IF it works reply me.
