| A quick browse of the web didn't turn up anything, and this seems to
be the most relevant newsgroup I could find. If there's a better
place for the question or answer, please let me know.
I have a Maxtor 200GB drive in an ADS 1394/USB2 enclosure, formatted
by WinXP for NTFS, volume name BACKUP. It seems if I don't boot the
computer with the drive running, then power it up after the boot (or
after the drive is power cycled), "My Computer" doesn't see the drive.
I can type U:\ and access the drive, but properties show the
filesystem to be RAW, no type, and no volume name. The strange part
is Computer Management's Disk Management recognizes the drive
properly, and properties show the filesystem to be NTFS, type Local
Disk, and has the volume name. Why the discrepancy in Windows?
The weirdness isn't the problem though. When trying to copy files to
the drive, a warning pops up: "The destination does not support long
file names. Please enter a name for this file."
So, have I done something wrong? Is there a drive size limitation
with 1394? Is the ADS enclosure to blame, or is it just yet another
quirk on the very long list of quirks in WinXP? TIA...
