I have a backup-tgz of my windoze 98 partition and now want to copy it back into a fresh installed system.
The problem is:
tar comes me with "tar: filename: invalid argument cannot open filename" whereever "filename" contains such a char such as \201 and stuff.
I have an idea. Suse 8.1 made entries like this on my fstab:
/dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat noauto,users,gid=root,umask=0002,iocharset=iso8859-1,code=437
I assume "code" is this (man 8 mount):
codepage=value Sets the codepage for converting to shortname char acters on FAT and VFAT filesystems. By default, codepage 437 is used.
iocharset=value Character set to use for converting between 8 bit characters and 16 bit Unicode characters. The default is iso8859-1. Long filenames are stored on disk in Unicode format.
I don't know if your win partitions wil be using a different codepage :-?
Also, have a look at mattrib, and mkmanifest, they are usefull for recovering the msdos attributes and names from a linux system.

Thanks for your thoughts, but I am using Suse 7.o here! So that cannot be a 8.1 problem... Greets!
