Error on boot after reformatting extra hard drive.
I had a small 2nd internal hard drive I was using to store some backup
data in an ext3 partition. I decided to reformat it to FAT32 so I could
also write from my windows partition. I used gparted to reformat and now
when I reboot I get the following error:
fsck.ext: Unable to resolve 'UUID=6ccdbd6f-c73e-4155-810e-aeb4dd06bba2'
fsck died with exit status 8
The system then boots into shell and tells me to manually edit the file.
If I press CONTROL-d the system will boot amd everything works as before.
How do I fix this error?
Scott.

Thanks, that fixed it. I'm starting to see how I could have figured it out
on my own. With help from some of these groups I am learning and doing
more.
Thanks again,
Scott.
