Weird. I sort of gave up on this drive. I had a very kind soul to send me a video card when I did this build. He also sent me a 250Gb drive. I copied all I could to that but did lose a LOT of my videos and such. Anyway, I'm doing this right now: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc I figure that will put it back like brand new and very blank. I'll recreate my partition, throw a file system on it and see if it will let me copy back to it or not. While I am at it, what is the best file system for videos? That is the biggest thing I use that drive for. I had a LOT of NCIS, CSI and other shows that are now gone. Anyway, what are opinions on a file system for videos on a 750Gb drive? I had reiserfs on it before. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
