What does this error mean?

[stopthegop]

I have an drive on my A4000 that is formatted with NT File System.  I created a mountlist for it and I'm using the ntfs driver for AmigaOS on aminet.  It works in that I am able to mount the drive and see all of the files.  The problem is when I open certain directories I get the following error...like maybe 100 times or more.  Again and again and again... I click "ok", "Ok", "Ok"....  Some folders open up without any problem, but others will launch this damn error loop..  The only escape is to reboot, or click ok like 200 times!  Its driving me nuts.  :crazy:

The error is:

"NTFS Error"

"Found compressed, encrypted, or sparse attribute that is not (yet) supported.  Attribute Record 1844416, Type 128, Flags 1, Offset 208"

Not really.  I see that the "Record xxxx" and "Offset xxx" changes each time I click Ok, but I can't see any commonality between which folders trigger the error and which ones don't.  For example, the root triggers it maybe 50 times.  But "Windows" and "Sys32" do not trigger it.  "My Documents" triggers it over 100 times.  But "Documents and Settings" does not.  "My Pictures" doesn't.  "My Videos" does..  :/  I'm flummoxed..

I thought compression might be the problem, too.  But I checked.  Compression is disabled.

Maybe it is compression after all?  There might be data on this drive that was compressed years ago on a different drive and different PC, but which was copied over from backup media.  So even though compression isn't enabled on the current drive, there may be data on it which at one time resided on drive that was using compression. Does that make any sense?

Yep, yer right.  I'll bet thats it.  Thanks dude
