Thread: Error on boot after reformatting extra hard drive.

  1. 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.
