i was dualbooting windows 8 and linux mint 14 cinnamon , i deleted windows 8 and installed windows 7 then had to repair the grub so i could boot back in to mint.
now each time i start my laptop in to mint it takes a long time and i get this screen
sometimes mint doesn't load and my laptop screen just stays black, i force shutdown and start again and everything is normal but still get that screen asking me to skip mounting the partition.
sda1 was the partition where windows 8 was and now windows 7 is in sda7
how can i fix this problem ?
thanks

Press S
Then look at /etc/fstab. If it has an entry for sda1 then remove it.
Does Windows 7 boot ok?

Yes, remove those lines or just comment out the second one by starting it with #
Then see if it boots without complaining.
