hi there. mac os x tiger 10.4.11, latest macfuse and ntfs-3g installed. trying to move a file from a usb flash drive (pny attache 2g fat32 formatted) to an external hard drive (western digital 250gb parallel ide, i think caviar model, ntfs formatted cuz i was originally using it as backups for windows stuff in an external usb enclosure powered by ac adapter), the power cable accidentally unplugged. i got some popup warning me that the transfer couldn't be completed (i unfortunately neglected to record the message). i no longer can mount the drive properly (when i plug it in, instead of the network drive-like icon the standard usb hard drive icon shows up, and when i open the drive in finder it shows 0 items but says the "correct" free space remaining).

how can i fix this? i'll restart the comp and see if that fixes anything, but i'm not hopeful about that fixing the problem.

(i do not have a backup of that drive, as i was using that drive as a universal backup, so i can't use disk utility to restore it).
