Tired of XP Home edition (slow Windows Explorer)
I am upgrading to different OS.
While backup up files I got error message:
"The directory or file cannot be created"
The particular directory has >17000 picture files in it.
(half JPG, half thumbs)
System backup copy halted. (USB2 to Iomega external)
1. What does this error mean ?
2. How can the cause be corrected ?
