Now, that you have working USB drive, check it with fsck.ext4 to see/repair any file system inconsistencies that might have occurred during this violent unplug action. Some people might also recommend doing image of valuable data partition (using dd) before running fsck.

You'll probably use system console so it's convenient to use commands like: mount (without options shows mounted file systems) and umount. Could you help with the correct syntax ?
