Help Im getting a little bit pissed off atm :angry: And would like someones help I am trying to copy a AVI video clip from a CDR to my documents on my comp. It keeps failing and saying "invalid MS - DOS function" :evil: WTF does that mean and why cant I copy it????! :bang: I dont wana lose this file Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Says its a read only file and wont let me change that in properties All the other files of the exact same night are fine and not read only
Sounds like CD is knackered Rach! Try taking it out n giving it a clean. Or try on sum1 elses PC (sum drives have better lasers than others or read certain brands of disc better ) Sumtimes anyway! :laugh:
Didnt mean ur comp was dirty ya dafty!! :laugh: I mean cd cud av had dust on or a bit of gunk What was it?
Hey!!! Im not THAT stupid! I didnt actually sort it out, I just found the file elsewhere. But if anyone does know how to sort it, let me know, cos no doubt Ill need it again
has it got a long file name? it could be comething like that. i'd open a ms-dos prompt, change to the cdrom drive then type something along the lines of : copy <complete file name in EXACTLY how it's listed, with correct extension> c:\<a simpler file name, with correct extension> for example : copy paris hilton grot video.mpeg c:\grot.mpg
open an ms-dos prompt, change to the cdrom drive, by typing d: or e: depending what you cdrom drive is. Get into the folder and type DIR that will list the file and give it's ms-dos name.... THEN type COPY <ms-dos file name> c:\<new, shorter file name> ... it's a suggestion...
