LL2 not booting if one extended partition is formatted to FAT 32

[gold_finger]

That is the issue, it doesn't boot if i configure it in that fashion. Now again i have booted it with CD and use Gparted and made the NTFS partition as unallocated and then restarted and now it boots with USB HD. Now again using the Gparted and converted the Unalocated space to NTFS and run the script and posting here.

Code:

arunp@arunp-Vostro-3400:~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sdb2 during installation
UUID=13ea928f-6d38-445e-b3b7-c06760ec9fea /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
# /home was on /dev/sdb6 during installation
UUID=0278cd76-2f6f-44fa-bb27-87602c6c6332 /home           ext4    defaults        0       2
# swap was on /dev/sdb5 during installation
UUID=01dae284-d8de-4c09-bea1-2759ea815dc4 none            swap    sw              0       0

 

Now if I restart the Grub runs and it doesn't start the OS

If I understand you right, you're saying that at this point you are booted into the system and used GParted to convert sda3 to NTFS format.  Also, you made NO changes to fstab file -- it still reads as shown here.  Correct?  And you are saying that if you were to reboot at this point, it will not work?

I have to say, that makes absolutely no sense to me and I've never seen that happen before.

Finish doing whatever you do for the NTFS partition and reboot the computer.  If it does not boot into your installed Linux Lite system, reboot again with the live DVD one more time before making any changes.  From the LIVE DVD, post back entire output of these commands:

Code:

lsblk
sudo parted -l
sudo blkid -c /dev/null
sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt
cat /mnt/etc/fstab
