Update on this: I used r-studio to have a peek at Dribe B, and it shows all of the folders and files that are on the drive. It also shows the "ghost" folders and files from Drive A. Where there are two folders with the same name, such as "movies", they are both listed.

I suppose the option would be to pull everything real over to another drive, reformat, then put it back, but that just sounds painful. Ideally, I find a way to resolve the schitzophrenic state and have the drive remember it's true structure.

Any ideas? :)
