I´m sure I´ll end up fixing this on Monday when I return and have access to the drive from my F17 Linux machine. Right now, I´m stuck with a XPSP3 netbook for the weekend. The idea of my post, however, was to raise a red flag about files with invalid names being happily written by Linux NTFS-3G... (the files ORIGINATED on the F17 box, as I plugged the NTFS external drive there, and copied a bunch of files using Midnight commander to it, which are now the files that are giving me trouble). That is to say, I wrote no files to that drive from XP, always from Fedora 17. The only time I did some writing on that external drive from windows was for formatting it NTFS, at the time I purchased it.
