Need help w/Win7 Restore

I can't seem to restore folders from my Win7 backup to a newly reformatted HD because I run into this error message: "A file cannot be restored....Short names are not enabled on this volume." Funny thing is I already restored a bunch of files, but now I need to restore some folders and this is where the trouble is. I also can't find any instructions to correct this so I'd appreciate some input on how to solve the problem. Thanks.
 
Is this the backup/restore application that comes packaged with windows7?

First google result a guy in Australia solved it with this command:
Code: 
fsutil behavior set disable8dot3 0
It would seem to set "disable8dot3" to false. You might need to reboot before running the restore operation. If its not your C drive having the problem you might need to first run
Code: 
cd <whatever drive letter>
before running the above command, not 100% sure though.
