Because you didn't unmount it when removing it, install rootsh if you don't have it, open terminal, type root then:
Since I've said this on the forums many times, I'll answer the most common question.
No it doesn't delete your data, it only fixes the partition (without touching your data)
Safely remove it next time.
(oh and blame MS, not Nokia
)
Code:
fsck.vfat -a /dev/mmcblk0p1

Can you also please run the following in xterm and post the result?
Code:
cat /etc/fstab
--edit: looks like MohammadAG has already solved the problem

How are you accessing the drive? Is it via the File Manager app, another computer (USB cable) or some other way?
Can you also please run the following in xterm and post the result?
-- this will output the N900's 'mount table', which will show how that drive is being mounted.Code:cat /etc/fstab
--edit: looks like MohammadAG has already solved the problem
i consult this community first before trying a reformat.

You need rootsh installed for that commands to work.
Please post complete error messages here, if errors occur.
Code:
sudo gainroot umount /dev/mmcblk0p1 fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p1 mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs

I did run command posted by MohammadAG, and the one posted by You without errors.
It may by worth mention that before them (commands) the message was "You don't have permission to copy/move files". In mass storage mode it's no prob with moving and coping.
That is really frustrating, connecting and disconnecing, since I'm doing it every day.

This has happened to me a few times. Plug into a pc. Mass storage. My computer. Right click on the n900 drive. Scan and fix errors. Works for me.

I have to do the test run on other PC, that might be the problem.
P.S. Good thinking Batman
