Hey J.D

This tells you that your drive's did not properly shutdown when 
requested. So that could imply a reset, or a crash. When you reboot
normally your disk would sync itself and then properly shutdown.

The message tells you that that was not the case, so it needs checks 
(which i think follows after the message you describe)

Cheers
