I used the file browser to explore Local Disk, which worked ok, then did fstab again and got the same results as before. No /dev/stb1. Just for kicks, I tried using the browser to go into the file system and look at /dev/stb1. It appears in the /dev list, however the icon has an X over it and when I double-click it it says "Couldn't display /dev/stb1. There is no application installed for this file type." I figured that installing via wubi might have some drawbacks. Oh well.
