Hello everyone. Just recently, I was moving some music from my laptop to my desktop using a 4GB flash drive.

Once I plugged it into my desktop to copy the music, it wouldn't let me move it all. I moved them one by one until I came to Radiohead. Inside, in the album "The Bends" there were several files and folders with very odd characters for names and they were unmovable/un-deletable.

This was also the case with a Firefox Portable folder on the same flash drive. I formatted it and its OK now, but I was wondering what this was that happened. Here's some pictures.





As you can see in this one, as I hover over the folder, it says it's larger that 9.5GB and that's impossible since it's in a 4GB flash drive.

Anyone else experience this or have an answer to what happened here?

sounds like you have some corrupted files or the partition format on the flash drive is corrupted. try reformatting the drive
