Hi all

I bought a Western Digital MyBook Premium and plugged it into my old Powerbook G4 - perfect! It all works and I can copy things over, but while I'm copying (and I'm trying to back up my entire HD here), every time I try to copy something big, it stops (WITH NO ERROR SOUND) and says "cannot copy file 'icon ' because the file name is too long, but never has the complete name for me to find that file.

Is there any way to ignore these errors and keep copying?
