OK. That's expected. You've attempted to mount the disks read-write. Linux is warning that the disks have not been checked, and that this could be dangerous. You can usually ignore the warning, as long as you run the fsck steps soon afterwards. Alternatively, run them before you start the copy (i.e. immediately you get a shell prompt).


ok i will try this tonight before i do anything else....but fyg i did run this last night and i still got the error message when i tired to copy the files
