I currently have a small SSD (128Gb) with LL 2.2 on it and which I use for my normal /primary drive/OS.
I have a second convention hard drive (1T) on the machine with Windows 7, Linux Mint Mate and a 500+ Gb partition (ntfs) labeled "Data" that I hoped to store photos/videos, etc. and make them available to all three operating systems. The default boot is LL 2.2 and at the boot menu I can select the others, which works fine.
I was trying to follow this method:
http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1609
I went through the commands to create mount point, take ownership, create directories, find UUID# and then add the fstab additional entries to auto mount. When I boot into LL however, it stops while booting and says "disk drive for 2DEB175417534C94 is not ready or present enter W to wait S to continue or M to manually recover".
(2DEB175417534C94 is the UUID# for my Data partiton) if I Wait, nothing happens, if I Skip it boots fine and then Data shows up on my Desktop and I can mount it there, it shows as "Removable Volume mounted in "/media/chris/Data". If I open it I also don't see the folders I created, but if i try and recreate them in terminal it says they already exist.
If I look at the partitioning in GParted I see /dev/sdb3 (which contains /dev/sdb7 the Data partition) and /dev/sdb7 show up with a set of keys next to them which would seem to indicate they are locked? Is this the issue with the "disk drive not ready or present" or what am I missing here?
Any thoughts?
