Since it is an external drive that is detachable, I decided to mount it
manually.
I did indeed run fsck and it declared the fs clean.
When I try to mount it with
mount -t ext3 -o rw /dev/sdd1 /sdd1
the message said the disk is write protected  mounting read only
I should have copied and pasted the message into a file so I could
paste here. I will try again when the system is not in use.
