So I'll try submitting my text here instead. (Sorry) Concerning -- http://blogs.sftsrc.com/stuart/archive/2008/06/24/93.aspx Stuart, I had that same problem in winXp (today). My filepath (including folder & file) was 141 characters in length. I have embedded whitespace in my folder path, only because it has 'Documents and Settings' and 'My Documents'. I also took the same iso file (w/ its name intact) to another computer, mounted it from the Desktop (successfully) where my filepath length was 125 characters (and, the same whitespace applied). I came back to my main computer, shortened the filename so that I was less than 128 characters overall, and it mounted fine! So, I think that the total length of the folder path plus filename is an issue. I appreciated seeing your article about this kind of problem. The error message sure doesn't tell us much!
