  • Corrupt Extended Attributes

    I have a Thumb-Drive to which I can no longer save any files as it
    complains that the "Extended Attributes file is corrupt." Is there
    any way to either work around this or fix the EA file?

    Normally chkdsk should fix this.

    If not and if you don't care about EAs on this volume, you can simply
    delete the EADATA.SF file. (Note: you cannot do this from OS/2 and the
    file name contains spaces somewhere)
