lol ... ok ... umm ... i connected my n900 to my computer via USB and was trasfering music when i accidentally removed the usb while it was transfering. i was on mass storage mode when this happened.

on my n900, i went to my media player, there was no music, i went to photos, nothin der, i went to file manager, it shows only my memcard, nothing else...

i reconnected my n900 to my computer via usb, and selected mass storage. i tried double clicking on the drive that is supposed to be my internal storage and it askes me if i want to format it.

that the whole story

Have to tried turning the phone off, removing everything, battery, memory card even sim card and putting it all back in to start up again. If it is still not working after that, it sounds like you may have a corrupted filesystem.
Also, you will get more replies and more useful answers if you change your thread title to something that describes your acttual problem - Just a heads up.
How about "Accidental corruption of filesystem" or "Usb removed mid-transfer" etc.

Do you have rootsh from extras installed?
If so run a file system check from within your N900
Code:
sudo gainroot
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs
The umount command should give you an error, because the partition is not mounted, but it is safer this way.
