File copy error

[salmanarif]

Hi all,

This is my first post on this forum (I just joined). I would like some help regarding the following matter:

I have to copy a personal .daa (PowerISO image) from a burnt DVD-R to any folder on my hard disk. When I try copying it using the normal Windows GUI, it fails at the last second with the error "The target volume does not support symbolic filenames".

I then tried copying using the xcopy command and got the same error.

I know that symbolic filenames and links are not supported on FAT partitions, but all my partitions are NTFS. Still, for good measure I tried copying the file to another partition without any luck.

I would like to know whether there is any way around this problem. Thank you for taking the time to read my post!

Regards,
Salman

lol, I just wrote up a whole nice reply only to see that I'm not answering your question. May I ask what is the file name? Are there any weird characters? What about opening the .daa file (browse through it using PowerISO or WinRar I believe can also read those), and copying the files inside? You can recreate the image file with it's the contents after they're on your hard drive.

Poweriso will do it for you.
PowerISO - Create, Edit, Extract, Mount, Compress, Encrypt, Split ISO file, ISO/BIN converter, Virtual Drive, DAA

It's a split image. No wierd characters in the filename except a "-".
I don't have a DL-DVDR handy to burn the image so I have to copy and then mount then use (only 1 dvd drive).

Thanks for helping out!
