Saltgrass Said:
When you copy files from a NTFS file system to a FAT or other non-NTFS file system, there may be properties contained in the file stream that can not be copied because the non-NTFS does not support these alternate streams (perhaps not an accurate description, but close enough).
If the device you are copying to was formatted as NTFS, then you would not see the message about properties not being able to be copied.
It should be okay to lose the extra properties and still have the files work just fine.

QUESTION: How can I tell if the file I am copying is NTFS or FAT? And, how can I tell if the device I am copying to (generally a CD/DVD/USB) is using NTFS or FAT?
