              But, it does format the number properly... No misaligned digits or so... Guess they got *something* right.

                I'm surprised windows knows what a PB is, but then again, maybe microsoft new about the bug and made windows able to go up to PB's.

                    Have you tried running chkdsk from Recovery console?

                      Yes, you need to run scandisk/chkdsk on that drive. That file has a bad file record and windows will probably not be able to do much with it.

                          run chkdsk first on the drive, then delete the file.

                          Deleting the file while the filesystem is damaged could cause further damage.

                            The disk is broken! So there is no way checkdisk can recover that!

                              1024 bytes of slack space. That's totally unacceptable.
