    Error 0x8000FFFF: Catastrophic Failure

    Hi Paty,

    The Error 0x8000FFFF: Catastrophic Failure may have occurred due to the recent change on your PC or the issue came from the USB Drive itself. To isolate your concern, we'd like to ask the following:

    • Have you tried to use the USB Drive and create a new folder on a different PC?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far to resolve the issue?

    We look forward to your response.

    "Error extracting support files:

    Catastrophic failure"
