I did install the drive myself. I'll check those items when I get home, but I don't think that could be the problem since the player plays fine. Including tracks that I know for a fact are on the second disc. It just seems to refuse to fsck, and I'm now at that point that emplode wants to fsck before the sync (what is it every 50 syncs or so?)
I imagine that it's never ran a fsck since I installed the drive. Does anyone know if there is a way to reset that counter so that it won't run fsck? I know that's a bad idea and would just temporally cover a problem that could worsen, but I would like to add a couple more albums to the ol' empeg, and if the drive does crash, it's no big lose, my computer's hard drive mirrors that of the empeg.
