<p class="MsoNormal">I ran fsck. It just returned through. So then I reformatted it with gparted. So all is well (I guess). I did have to restart the computer after the reformat though (don't remember why) but everything seemed okay. Oh yeaaaaa! I think I had
to restart it because it would not unmount and I figured I would try to restart it and if it would gracefully do so it would be good. And it did and upon restart the drive auto mounted.<o:p></o:p></p>
