when i copied mp3's to my dad's harddrive (connected on my pc) i got this window popping up (this was quite some time ago). then about 5minutes ago i copied "format.exe" to a stiffy for a machine i want to install "virus98" on (i've got an old game that doesn't work on XP or 2000). when i clicked "paste" this sodding message popped up again. is there something i'm missing here?

Jump to PostI'm pretty sure that just means that the file had something attached to it thats extra but the computer can't support it. But just in case download HJT and run it. Post the log back here. (don't fix anything yet)
Jump to PostThe message is perfectly normal- it is indicating that the files in question have metadata stored in Alternate Data Streams (ADS). The NTFS filesystem supports ADS, but they will be lost/stripped when transferred to media formatted with another filesystem (the files themselves will remain intact, however).
Jump to PostNevermind then with that HJT log.
