WOW!!!!!!!!!! GREAT READ!! Thanks unutbu.
To continue ... for all who have helped.
Now to make things right. I got everything working thanks to the help here and would like to say:
Thank you all!
Then after I got it all fixed up, I had a .gvfs problem and something with SCIM popped up and wouldn't allow me to type properly in gedit. That ended up being the straw that broke the camels back.
I backed up my /home and reinstalled Xubuntu 8.04 today, and made things easier:
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda2
UUID=c6866abf-2476-475a-96a4-0d6dc5804ddb / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda1

# /dev/sda3

# /dev/sdb2

# /dev/sdb1
UUID=54f6405d-de40-4c38-ad04-993565e8d36a none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
As you can see, /, /home and /media/W2K are on the 200G HD and /media/Data and "swap" on the 80G HD.
Next I'm going to unmount (should have done that at Install Setup) the /media/W2K partition as it is "empty" and I'm hoping I can keep it that way. Maybe that's why the UUID is so short?
I'm Windows Free, no offense Bill, Windows served me well (?¿?) for many years, now I'm going to give Linux the same amount of run time.
Thank you everyone for all your help and input. I've learned a lot with these two threads.
CHIMO!
