fstab problem

[Cpnsiutroy]

I have been roaming the internet for awhile now but I have not been able to find anything to fit my situation exactly.
When booting up right after I installed Linux Mint 14, there is only a blank screen where there should be the start up logo. I restart and I am presented with:

Code: Select all

Alert!  /dev/disk/by-uuid/###... does not exist.

I tried using Supergrub/rescatux and with this tiny netbook I am putting it on, the hard drive cannot be seen.

My fdisk and fstab looks as follows (respectively):

Code: Select all

Thank you to anyone in advance!

Self-Bump... Anyone?

Try mounting your filesystems without having the UUID in the fstab. Do your research first before you do it though. As far as I know the UUID is only so that your system remembers the sorting order of the drives. You can always re-add the UUID's back after you figure out the problem.
