[xubuntu-users] Disabling Vfat checking on boot

[Cody A.W. Somerville]

Hi Danny,

 The easiest way to accomplish this is by modifying /etc/fstab.

You'll notice at the end of the line for your vfat partition, there are two
numbers separated by spaces. Make them both 0 and 0 (but only for yours vfat
partition!).

ex. taken from my /etc/fstab

> # /dev/hdc1 -- converted during upgrade to edgy
> UUID=251E-1C0F /media/windows vfat defaults 0 0
>

Notice: You'll need to be root to edit this file. Run the command "gksudo
mousepad /etc/fstab" to accomplish this. You'll also want to make a backup
of this file in your home directory - just in case you make a mistake, you
can copy it back over.

Hope this helps. If you run into any trouble, let us know and we'll try our
best to help you.

Thanks,

Cody A.W. Somerville
