Windows 7 file copy - long name error?

When I copy my music folder (800 cd's worth of files) from one hard drive to another I get a message :

'The file name would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the file name and try again or try a location that has a shorter path'.

I'm just doing a drag and drop from one drive to another. The files I get errors on don't seem to be any longer than anything else.

Suggestions?

I think you're right but doesn't seem like that long a path - mbnx01 22:00:45 07/13/14 (1)
