I don't see why people are not discussing what the error message says. There are two possibilities - 1. There are bad sectors on your pen drive (and that is why accessing certain segments slows down/freezes the read); or 2. When you unplugged your drive, the NTFS wasn't cleanly unmounted. Run chkdsk from windows as suggested. It is not run automatically when you plug it into windows. You might see it work on windows, like when you skip running chkdsk during the boot process but Linux will keep complaining. BTW, if you want to check for badsectors, run the following as root. # badblocks /dev/sdc (you check for badblocks on a drive, not a partition) Sharad --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- group http://groups.google.com/group/iitdlug -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
