It worked fine and it was there with 0 bytes. Weird. |

I sort of gave up on this drive. I had a very kind soul to send me a |
| 31 |
video card when I did this build. He also sent me a 250Gb drive. I |
| 32 |
copied all I could to that but did lose a LOT of my videos and such. |
| 33 |
Anyway, I'm doing this right now: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I figure that will put it back like brand new and very blank. I'll |
| 38 |
recreate my partition, throw a file system on it and see if it will let |
| 39 |
me copy back to it or not. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
While I am at it, what is the best file system for videos? That is the |
| 42 |
biggest thing I use that drive for. I had a LOT of NCIS, CSI and other |
| 43 |
shows that are now gone. Anyway, what are opinions on a file system for |
| 44 |
videos on a 750Gb drive? I had reiserfs on it before. |
