How to work with ido-vertical-mode inside dired-mode


For example, in the Dired window when I type C on a file called test123.csv under my D: drive, the minibuffer shows:

Copy test123.csv to d:/
->test123.csv
  hello.csv

If I type RET now, Emacs will say that it can't copy the file since it already exists. But what I need is to let it auto-complete to d:\test123.csv and then edit the file name to d:\test123.back.csv. But how to do it?
