Do a "man dosfsck" from the command prompt to see what you are getting into first.

Wow. That was easy. Thanks signum. The dosfsck seemed to do the trick. I haven't done a lot with the flash drive yet but it did copy from and paste to perfectly so far. Thanks a lot.

Don't think this would be the case as I'm using the Xubuntu default screens on both computers. Although one Xubuntu has the Xubuntu screen (w/the mouse icon in the middle) and the other just has a big solid dark (not the Xubuntu bright blue) background.
I'd been using Chrome a lot and my best guess is the black line came in when I upgraded from Ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04. I checked on the one Xubuntu and it was indeed the default. And that does look (4/30) like the day I upgraded the two computers. Any other ideas? (Thanks!)
