This data drive disappeared from the system two days ago. I've had problems with drives in the bay when rebooting into Ubuntu from Windows and so I put it in a different bay and it seemed to be working well after reboot. Today when I rebooted into Ubuntu from Windows, I saw Deluge showing errors and unable to recheck files cleanly. Running fsck -a gave

fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
/dev/sdc1: One or more block group descriptor checksums are invalid. FIXED.
/dev/sdc1: Group descriptor 0 checksum is invalid.

/dev/sdc1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)

But running fsck manually, I get

One or more block group descriptor checksums are invalid. Fix<y>? Y

THen lots of:

Group descriptor 888 checksum is invalid. FIXED.
Group descriptor 889 checksum is invalid. FIXED.
Group descriptor 890 checksum is invalid. FIXED.
/dev/sdc1 contains a file system with errors, check forced.

Pass 5: Checking group summary information
Free blocks count wrong for group #335 (32768, counted=5759).
Fix<y>? y

Then thousands of
Free blocks count wrong for group #891 (32768, counted=9409).
Fix<y>? yes

Free blocks count wrong for group #892 (32768, counted=7494).
Fix<y>?


So I need help here. This is a 1.5 TB volume. If there are tens of thousands of these wrong block counts my finger will wear out and if there are hundreds of thousands, I could be dead of old age.

Help?
