Problem with USB

[Pat Brown]

It's Hardy, 8.04 LTS. I can read and write to the USB from my ASUS EEE 
PC and I can read from my Laptop and copy files off it. I ran some tests 
I found online and it looks like it's corrupt. I'm not ready yet to 
format it and lose the data. I'll just keep it as a spare.
