Hi,

I have a 15" flat panel imac, OS 10.3.8 and just hooked up a newly purchased LaCie 160 GB FireWire (400) external hard drive.

Seems to work great, very fast.

But..., sometimes, I'm getting a message about not being able to copy files because the file name has unrecognizable characters or is too long. In all cases I've had to change a "/" to a "_" to compete the process.

How can I get the new hard drive to handle file names like a mac does instead of like a pc does??

Also is it possible to move rather than copy files to the new drive.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Dale
