Hi all!

I post in this forum for the first time as I slowly switch from all-PC to a home iMac.

I'm trying to move my music collection from my PC to my mac. It's about 70GB, currently held in an external hard drive and in the Music folder of my Windows 7 Pro Bootcamp partition. When I try to copy all files from either source, I get an "Error 35" (The operation cannot be completed because one or more of the required items cannot be found) or an "Error 36" (Finder cannot complete the operation because some data from "XXX" cannot be read or written.)

I've discovered that if I select only mp3 files with letters and numbers, they copy just fine. If I try to copy a single file with an accented letter (á or à) or an ñ, it bounces back.

Can you guys help me with:

1) Ideally, getting the files to copy,
or failing that, 2) Removing all the accents and ñ from the filenames?

Cheers!
