Copying .OV2 files

[gollynick]

When copying .OV2 files from my PC to my TomTom One, I get the following warning:

Confirm Stream Loss

The file 'pocketgps_uk_pmobile.ov2' has extra information attached to it that might be lost if you continue copying. The contents of the file will not be affected. Information that might be lost includes:

:Zone.identifier:$data@

Do you want to proceed anyway? Yes/No

Am I losing useful information?

It's not a warning I've seen myself, but Googling found quite a few references to it.

None of which seemed to be conclusive.

You'll normally see it when copying files from NTFS to FAT partitions. Or at least that's the only time i've seen it.

Basically because FAT can't handle some of the info that NTFS attibutes to some files it has to dump the extra info. You won't loose any data (at least i never have) and it's usually safe to say Yes.
