Fw: usb drive corrupt

[John.Boland at reebok.com (John.Boland at reebok.com)]

The drive continues to be perfectly functional with Linux and MACs.

Just M$ has problems (what a surprise!).  I've tried reformatting and the 
problem still persists.  I know that the drive is definitely NOT corrupt 
(I can still still use it with other operating systems).

Try copying everything off of it, reformat it, and copy your
data back.
