General Error Mounting File System
Posted: Tue Mar 26, 2013 11:22 am
I have a system running Windows 7 Ultimate. I want to run LinuxMint on a second hard drive. With Windows I do this by unplugging the first hard drive and installing Windows on the second
hard drive. When both are plugged in, I hit F8 and have a choice which hard drive to boot.
I tried this with LinuxMint 14.1 Cinnamon w/ Codecs. The first problem I have is an error message "General Error Mounting File System". A Maintenance Shell will now be started. It then
finishes starting up from the DVD and seems to work ok. When I try to install it as described above, I pick the first of two partitions I want it installed in and I get an error message, "No
root file is Defined". Is this caused by the first error message I get and how do I fix both errors? Do I have a bad download?
