    Can I request a screen shot of the error?
    Sometimes if a file broke during the download, it may issue strange errors. Re-downloading the archive may help.

    Are you trying to extract the files on your PC, or on your Everdrive SD card? If it's the SD card, there's a little switch on the side, make sure it's pushed to the unlocked position.
