WALLONN7 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 From yesterday to here, every file I copy to one of my flash drives has its name changed, as the image shows ( 1 = original file / 2 = copied file ). The hashes are the same, so only the renaming of the file occurs. 1 - I checked the pendrive with KSOS and Malwarebytes and there is no infection;2 - I formatted it with Windows, Hard Disk Level Format Tool, HP USB Disk Format Format Tool, SDFormatter and the problem is still present ...Suggestions?!Ps. It's a SanDisk Cruzer Blade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The renamed file doesn't even contains some parts of the original name!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 i also meant if the file was renamed and contains some parts of the original name, it would be understandable to some extent but the new name doesn't even constains any part of the original name! Windows file system cannot do this from its own! Renamed files by Windows file system are only truncated, never completely revamped with a totally different name.

SFC /SCANNOW & CHKDSK showed no filesystem issues... The only novelty in my system: I migrated from Avast to Kaspersky... 'Till then, nothing similar had happened...

C.G.B. Spender Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Fat32 can only do 8.3 filename (8 chars name 3 chars extension), but windows uses some technique to overcome this, that's why if you installed win xp on fat32 drive and looked at C: with explorer you'd see Program Files directory, but if you booted up dos from floppy you'd see PROGRA~1. There is no error here, either you change the fat32 usb drive to exfat or ntfs or accept the consequences of using antiquated filesystem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WALLONN7 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Solution, who would say ( I should ), came when I formatted the pendrive on the pc with Windows Vista installed... After formatted there, the pendrive is working as expected... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
