With this upgrade, those partitions are gone and hence you are getting the error. As you say it is not affecting anything (check whether you had a Windows partition with any important files), you can ignore it. To avoid this error message: edit /etc/fstab and remove lines corresponding to /dos and /windows. (sudo vi /etc/fstab , be careful to remeve only these two lines). மா சிவகுமார் எல்லோரும் எல்லாமும் பெற வேண்டும் http://masivakumar.blogspot.com ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
Re: [Ilugc] mount failed.. ubuntu 10.04
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.

You will require super user privilege to edit /etc/fstab. Give following command to edit sudo vi /etc/fstab Please be careful when you edit files like fstab. Read about fstab before attempting to do anything. Alternatively you can create appropriate filesystems on those partitions and the system should be able to mount it.

There should be something called "ntfs-config". Install it and go to "System->Administration->NTFS Configuration" and see if that does the job for you. HTH.

Re: [Ilugc] mount failed.. ubuntu 10.04
The problem got solved when I edited the /dos and /windows line from /etc/fstab. In fact I deleted those two lines from there as suggested. Now my ubuntu boots without any such mount error message. ~chandan On 5/10/10, சிவகுமார் மா wrote: >>> > about editing that file. that file is readonly.
