What does this mean, full of errors?

What about testing the files directly on the USB in Linux without copying them anywhere? If they work from there but not after copying to Linux, transfer or storage is bad. > 5 It also happens if I instead try to copy the files made on Windows to my > Debian computer via scp (haven't tested with > ftp). Another easy thing to check is copying the files back from Linux. If they're still good by Windows, at least your transfer method and storage are solid. If not, they got corrupted somehow, either during transport or storing to Linux. > The error should be easy but rather time-consuming to reproduce.

At least try to find out some figure on how many files are needed to cause this. Or is it enough to have just one file in the archive?
