well, I had ubuntu 9.10 and window7 earlier. and one more partition for sharing files. but after that I formatted full disk and make four partitions, one in which I kept window xp, two nothing and one ubuntu. while installing ubuntu (after windows) it asked to fix the mount point for those two partition which were empty. so I gave one as /dos and one as /windows. They dont contain any data in it.
about editing that file. that file is readonly. I tried with vi but couldnot do. please clear the command if any to edit it.
