usb stick - inode/x-corrupted

[istvan5]

Hi !

I connected an USB stick (used in windows) to my Ubuntu,
- copied one folder (300 MB) to Ubuntu (in LXTerminal)
- waited about 2 seconds
- clicked on throw out USB stick (in LXTerminal)
- get an message something about "block missing",
- i again connected the USB stick to Ubuntu because the message worried me
- now 3 folders on the USB stick have following status (in LXTerminal):
inode/x-corrupted
these folders cannot be accessed
- i also tried to restart Ubuntu but it does not help

In these 3 folders, is the data lost? Or can I fix it?
What will happen if I open this USB stick on Windows?

thank you

I would start by trying to format it in Windows. Format to NTFS so that it can be used on both OSs.
