The following applies to a Dell Vostros 200 w/C2D 2G.
I have a multi-booted setup involving Win XP, 7, Ubuntu 10.04 and a few other flavors of Linux. Sometime in the last week when I boot Ubuntu it now automatically mounts my Dell utility (sda1) and XP (sda2) partitions. (The other partitions are within the sda3 extended partition.) That's just a minor annoyance, however I can't unmount those partitions or mount any other partition including my /home (sda7) partition. I have been able to temporarily circumvent by using GParted to mount /home and unmount the others. When attempting to mount or unmount a partition (other than U 10.04 of course) I get an error message such as "mount: only root can mount /dev/sda6 on /media/sda6".
I can't think of any change I've made that could have affected this.
I'm sure this is an easy fix but i can't find a fix within the menu system and as I'm a relative rookie with CLI I'm stuck.
Any help would be appreciated
