You are gonna have to use your computer to reinstall. Get a linux live cd. Search the forum, instructions are there

nvm i fixed it using http://www.sysresccd.org/SystemRescueCd_Homepage

i did a fsck -y /dev/sdb1

after i rechecked to make sure there weren't any errors, i /sbin/reboot and unplugged flash drive.. then i unplugged ac adapter from pogoplug, replugged flash drive, replugged ac adapter.. waited a min or two and i finally could ping it again! woot!

then i managed to remount my external hdds and everything is fine now.

not sure what exactly caused this problem.

ext2 is prone to corruption as it does not have the commit log (journal). So if you simply unplug power cord from your device it will corrupt for sure. How sever the error is will depend on what and where your plug is writing at the time. That is why I suggested switching to ext3. ext3=ext2+journal. Keep in mind though ext3 may reduce the life of the flash memory due to increased number of writes.

yeah i didnt want to risk it.

under the instructions
Can I use ext3/4?
U-Boot only supports booting from ext2 drives. Booting from ext3/4 drives is unstable and is not recommended. But, if you know what you're doing, you can make an ext2 /boot partition as sda1 and partition the rest as ext3/4. Make sure to edit /etc/fstab too!

and i barely know what im doing LOL. i know next to nothing about linux. but google is my friend for these situations :)
