How do I do it? (altering the mount points)

[Basil Chupin]

Earlier tonight as an experiment I installed XP and 10.04 on a set of 
HDs and when installing 10.04 I deliberately made typo mistakes in the 
partitioner.

For example, I put in /Windows/D as the mount point instead of using the 
lower case /windows/D.

Of course, fstab now shows that this partition is mounted as /Windows/D, 
and there is a corresponding entry in the file directory tree of Windows/D.

But what I want is to have this directory tree to show in local case - 
windows/D - with fstab also showing 'windows' in lower case.

Using PartedMagic I went in and altered all the capitalised references 
to Windows to lower case in fstab and the directory tree.

Then I tried to reboot the system - but it wouldn't.

It doesn't boot because I think that the device map is now wrong and 
with grub expecting to see Windows and not windows in fstab (I guess).

Fine, I thought, I will now change everything back, boot the system and 
use the partitioner in 10.04 to rename the mounts, then run update-grub 
and live happily ever after. Pigs will fly :-( .

The partitioner has changed its clothes and now looks, or acts, nothing 
like it did when the system was being installed - and the mount points 
cannot be renamed. Not ever PartedMagic will do it for that matter.

So, the question now is: how can I alter the mount points from Windows/D 
etc to windows/D etc? Any ideas, please?

PS This "experiment" was deliberate in that I did make a typo when I 
installed Ubuntu on my "main" system and typed the mount point for a 
partition on the second drive where I store some data and backups as 
/Data and not /data as intended; I would like to change it to the lower 
case.
