Problem

Solutions: "Name Exists"
In order to prevent confusion, MS-DOS prevents you from using identical names for files, directories, and volume labels. Files may have identical names if they are in separate directories, but any other duplication of names (such as directory and file, directory and volume label, or file and volume label) are not acceptable.
