<div dir="ltr">well.... I just went to officemax to see if windows could format it. it could not and the guys there said my drive was corrupted. So I bought a new one. I still have the 'corrupted' drive if there are any ideas out there in plug land about how to fix it. (it is so upsetting.... the drive isn't a year old yet)</div>

Pull the drive out and do:<br>
cat /proc/partitions<br>
<br>
Then insert the drive into your computer, count to 10 and run the above command again. The new drive that shows up is the one you just inserted. If you don't see any differences, run it again, the drive just might be slow in connecting to you system. If it doesn't show up at all, it might be damaged and isn't going to show up... try turning it off and back on again :)<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Well, I stuck a usb drive into the computer, opened a terminal, and<br>
copied files to it. Then I forgot to umount the drive and pulled the<br>
drive out. Now I need to format it and do not know how to do that. How<br>
do I see what the drive is being called when I stick it in?<br>
