What happens if you do this:

dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null count=100 bs=131072

Do you get errors? If not, your file system may be wiped out. If so,
the disk is likely dead.

If the dd worked then it's time to see if you can figure out if the
filesystem is corrupted or the partition bytes messed up.

A little while ago, I tried to install Google Earth. It told me

You could try:

yum reinstall filesystem


Thanks Rex. Did that and it didn't bring my drive back (even after a
restart). It used to be that I had a directory structure of

/run/media/anthony/Storage

Now. the entire directory structure is gone. Well, /run is there but
no /media or anything below.

I wonder if this drive just bit it.
