I am very patiently trying to help my sister move her 30Gb of data
from an external HFS+ drive (originally used on a Mac) to her PC
laptop (noooo, the dark side!)
So far I copied the data to my G5 and reformatted the external drive
on the PC (NTFS). I don't want to use FAT32...
Then I discovered fricken Tiger doesn't WRITE to NTFS volumes yet. Bugger!
So I tried copying the data direct to the laptop. It seems there are
some long file names that the PC doesn't like and the copy fails (a
real pain half way through 30Gb).
So then I try to be smart arse and create an uncompressed ZIP file
with Stuffit.
When I try to expand it on the PC (with either ZP or Stuffit Standard
8) I get a series of 'archive verification failed' errors, partial
expansion then Stuffit barfs.
Anyone got some advice before I go find the hammer?
An app to clean the file names first? Something else? Format at GAT32
(external drive) copy the data, etc...
Cheers, Antony.
