some googling and a leap of faith and maybe Stefan gave me the

I googled "fstab" and found an Ubuntu page that explains things
fairly simply. The leap of faith was in attempting to edit it. I
normally don't diddle around in the nuts and bolts of the system.
I don't know what I'm doing but I can sometimes copy and paste
with some good results.

I learned that the funny number was the uuid of the drive. Simple
enough once you know what it is. The "path" to that drive and my
files is/was media/bilie0w/"uuid"/Billie0W/. All my files are
under the "Billie0W" directory(?) so I set the mount point as
"Billie0W". It returned a file system of "ext2" so I added that
and made the other options 0 and 0.

<br>
The new line in fstab now reads:
<br>
<br>
UUID=5ec13406-3b24-42a6-be83-89871af43dee Billie0W ext2 auto 0 0
<br>
<br>
I'm praying I didn't trash my system. I didn't touch anything else
in there. Keep your fingers crossed.

cp -p /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.sav<br>

with sudo added if you need it.<br>
