The name of windows-partition changed without any reason!

[sebastien]

This 'strange' character might come from the partition encoding. My
suggestion is
Check  
sudo gedit /etc/fstab :

/dev/hda1       /media/hda1     vfat    defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46
0       0

And replace utf8 with the following encoding : Windows-1252 .

Tell if it works.
