Hi, I have 4 partitions on my dual boot laptop, loaded with Ubuntu 10.04 and Xp. Initially i could use 3 of the 4 partitions in Ubuntu while all 4 in Xp. The 4th partition was detected as RAW system in ubuntu. To get all 4 working, i just re-formatted the 4th one through Xp, a NTFS partition. Now when i start my machine in ubuntu, at the start, before login screen, i get this message:
The disk drive for /windows is not ready yet or not present. > Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery. > I tried waiting....but the wait never ended. I tried M, it gave me the shell, not sure what to do then. I tried S, i could login and to my surprise, I could use the partition normally. So now i can use the partition but each time at startup I have to press S to skip that screen. I know it is the sda9 partition, so I checked the /etc/fstab file : it says: # /windows was on /dev/sda9 during installation UUID=800E-359A /windows vfat defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 So i added the line: /dev/sda9 /media/82gb ntfs-3g defaults,user,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 > to the fstab file. Now, even though the partition is auto-mounted when i login in but the initial screen where I have to press S still exists. Please tell me where i am going wrong or what do i need to do so that that "skip screen" does not come each time on booting.
