Thanks.... I decided to reformat it and rsync it all again. And it isn't giving me any errors (yet). I am formatting it ntfs. Can I do fsck.ntfs or would I just do ...vfat? What about for a reminder? Could I put, "rsync -aWuq --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/SDULTRA64 *unmount sudo fsck.ntfs /dev/sdc" or do comments not work in this case?
