I need help please people. I have a Win2000 laptop which has crapped itself, it has CD-Rom as the user took it with them so i can't install in a different location and access the data.
The file system is NTFS.
I booted to dos with a Win98 Bootdisk and ran a program called NTFSDOS which allowed me to access the NTFS partition. I then installed a Zip drive using the Iomega guest executable which allowed me to see the zip drive. I copied the PST file off the laptop and this was ok.

My biggest and only problem now is that when i copy directories with files in them the files show up on my good PC with Win2000 in truncated form.

Is there a way around this?

No. The NTFS to DOS utility only works with 8.3 truncated file names. You'll have to rename everything once Windows 2000 is reinstalled.

Thought so, Thanks for the help.
