Folder names are to long for external H/D

Hi Guys, maybe someone could suggest what the issue is with moving folders to an external H/D.

I have many folders, and now that my computer is playing up I want to make a second copy of the complete photo folders to an other external H/D

All folders have names, some short, some a bit longer, and some in between, however when i start to move the files to the external drive it copies some and than stops and tells me that it cant copy certain folders because the name of the folder is to long.

I know some one may suggest to shorten the names of the folders, but that is something i really don't want to do, besides there are about 4000 folders

Is this normal

Thanks, Leon
