Using Recovery Console

Hi, i had some trouble with my computer. I wont describe the problem i've had, but i now need from RAID0 NTFS drive copy many files. As there are mainly .jpg fotos, they are mostly similar named automatically when dopied from camera. So i've tried that command copy, that lets copy one file at once, like this: copy foto~1.jpg dest:\foto~1.jpg and so on, but when i reach prefix like ~5, it says it cannot find the file specified. Whats that? Is that some limitation, or i don't know some naming rules ir 8.3 format? So how should i copy these files above ~4 ?
Thanks

Try this without the quotes " copy path:\*.jpg dest:\ ". This will copy all jpg files to the destination directory.

Wildcards don't work for copies in recovery console. (yeah bummer).


Under some circumstances you can whip up a batch file containing all the copies. Execute the file (doesn't even need .bat extension) with the "Batch <filename>" command.


Not sure what you're doing exactly, but a parallel install then copy from gui sound curious.
 
Well the thing is, that i cannot install parallel windows, after first text mode setup step it crashes and goes into reset loop. So now i can only try to restore my files from PC (RAID 0 NTFS storage...) and then try something else.
And as i was asking, whats the problem with file naming whel i try to copy these files like filena~5.jpg and above? Why does it say that filename specified not found?

Damn, Learn something new everyday. I didn't know that wildcards wouldn't work in the recovery console. I wonder who dreamed up that brilliant idea.... ? The one place you would really need wildcard support.

I have no idea why the filenames like " filena~5.jpg " and above are not working??? Puzzling.

Sorry I couldn't help.

Yeah, wildcards would be nice in recovery console. Well, with filenames, i don't know why and how they are made, but they depend on original full filename length and they look something like this:
NABAGS~1.JPG <-> nabags pasats (1).jpg
NABAGS~2.JPG <-> nabags pasats (2).jpg
NABAGS~3.JPG <-> nabags pasats (3).jpg
NABAGS~4.JPG <-> nabags pasats (4).jpg
NA2855~1.JPG <-> nabags pasats (5).jpg
NA285F~1.JPG <-> nabags pasats (6).jpg
NA2851~1.JPG <-> nabags pasats (7).jpg
NA385B~1.JPG <-> nabags pasats (8).jpg
NAD144~1.JPG <-> nabags pasats.jpg
Here names on the left are 8.3 format filenames, names following <-> are full filenames. You can try issuing dir /x command in folder with multiple similar named files. At any rate, now this for me is no more needed, because i found another solution for my problem.
Thanks anybody for help.
