I did a restart with 3 option-apple-P-R and all seems well. I can
now drag and drop files both ways!
I have no idea why
I suggest that this ... may .... have been related to Permissions .
I recently had an exercise with a "users" folder on a backup drive
that said the folders were empty ! ???
The HD info said it was occupied with limited spare space , but the
index only added up to a small figure.
Short story : The users folder was protected by the owners system
permissions.
And the short fix was t
go to the info panel for that HD & check the " ignore ownership on
this volume " box .
good luck

Hi Muggers
I recently installed a new 200gb drive in my G5 tower and backed
up my data from the 160, with no worries
I have just tried to drag a folder with a few small files over to
it and received a warning msg saying I cant copy due to file name
being too long for the destination!!
What the!
I made another folder on my main drive with a small name and tried
again. Same answer?
I really am stumped on this one. Anyone got a suggestion? A
preferences thing maybe.
I will do a restart and try again as well
Many thanks to all
chris
