Partition problem

Hello,
I just lost pretty much all my music on an ext3 partition. Every time I try to view it in nautilus, it just freezes up. If I cd to the directory, it works fine, but when I ls it doesn't show the contents, but gnome-terminal freezes. I got on my windows partition and tried to open the partition up, but it just said that drive M: (music partition) needs to be formatted.

Does anyone know what might have happened, and how I can get it back?

I'm running 7.2, and I just recently synced with the repository.

It seems sort of odd that it would just disappear like that.

Any help would be appreciated!

Re: Partition problem

Unmount the partition and fsck it.
