[SOLVED] Accidently deleted .config directory

I'm ashamed to say that I have a noob issue that I need help with. I was cleaning out my home directory with command line operations and somehow I ended up deleting my .config directory. I thankfully made a backup on a usb drive but I am unable to mount it.

It shows up under 'lsusb':

Bus 006 Device 005: ID 18a5:3623 Verbatim, Ltd 

but when I run 'sudo fdisk -l', I don't see it:

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders, total 312581808 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0006e191

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *          63      208844      104391   83  Linux
/dev/sda2          208845     4305419     2048287+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3         4305420    35037764    15366172+  83  Linux
/dev/sda4        35037765   312576704   138769470   83  Linux

I just want to mount this drive and drag the darn folder back.

Re: [SOLVED] Accidently deleted .config directory

dmesg should give you an idea of what's happening after the usb drive is inserted

You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.

A reboot fixed it...marked as solved.
