Best idea actually would be to plug in to a windows box if you can get to
one and that will repair filesystem problems better than fixntfs. Alie
I formatted these drives as ext3, not ntfs, so connecting to a Windoze machine
will never happen.
Probably it is what Kate has already suggested, and as I was beginning to
suspect. I might need to get another power supply or adapter, since the
cooling pad for my laptop uses the same size adapter. Probably more power is
all that is needed. I have 3 usb 3.0 ports on my machine, but they get used
up fast. I try to use a single machine to do too many different things.
The simple, easy solution is that I need to get myself moved into a bigger
place, somewhere that I can have a nerd cave, a room where I would have
several machines running. For the present, though, I must make do.
