The information in this article applies to:

This article was previously published under Q101717 SUMMARY
If you try to move or copy an HPFS file or directory with a long name
to a FAT partition, the following error message appears:
"File Manager cannot create directory <directory name>:
The specified name is already used by a file."
This error message is generated because the HPFS file system maintains
no short name for file or directory name conversion.
