"invalid ms-dos function" when tried to copy file

[simon109s]

Hi all,

Recently I tried to backup a old game but was encountered a problem; "cannot copy data:invalid ms-dos function".

My PC has 2 CD-R0M; one is a Lite-on DVD burner and a normal CD-ROM dr. I run Win2K as OS. Is there solution to solve this problem? Appreciated your advise.

Several things are posible.

1. Update your ASPI layer. Win2k has a buggy APSI, and so it is best to hunt down the ADEPTEC version.

2. Try creating an ISO file from your source. Your cd might have several tracks on it. [civ3 has 10 extra audio tracks]. A good freeware proggie here is "isobuster".

3. The directory might end in a space, which causes windows all sorts of problems. That is why i used isobuster to extract the files in this instance.

Hi os2fan2,

Thank you for you input. I did try on my another PC runs on win98 and still the same; the particular file couldn't copy. It prompted it couldn't read the file.

I'll try to install the iosbuster, and ASPI too. See if these will solve my problem. Thx.

Regards,

Simon
