This is even stranger. I am nopt sure why the install disk is trying to mount your Windows partition during an upgrade. I am not sure what the proper fix would be, but as a work-around so you can upgrade, change: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-1,ro 0 0 to # /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-1,ro 0 0
This should stop the installer from trying to mount the Windows partition. After you are done with the upgrade, remove the "# " so the mount works again. The "# " comments out the line, so it is ignored. You do not have to have the space after #, but it makes the change stand out more.
