Thread: Drive/partition labelling problems part 1

-

i have ageing dell 1545 run 12.04 on exclusively. however, have been experiencing drive labelling problems of late. partitioned rather strangely, have removed last vestiges of dell's partitioning scheme.

removed small dell utilities partition recovery partition, @ begining of drive, , combined them empty space vacated win7 (that removed when first installed 10.04, 2 years ago), making sda1 1 whole partition @ beginning of drive. had 10.04 dual boot win 7 , when removed 7, left partitiong 12.04.

sda5,6 , 7 root, swap , home, sda1 , 2 two dell partitions have removed , combined sda3 making large sda1. problem have 2 ntfs external drives, sdb1 2t wd elements drive , sdc1 generic 500 gb drive used labelled "new volume". when boot up, grub recovery prompt if sdc plugged in, without it, error message can't mounted , press "s" skip it. when plug in, error root can mount use "storage mgr" mount it, in storage mgr, see sda1 labelled "elements" , sdb1 correctly labelled "elements". if try manually change label of sda1 (in storage mgr), won't stay , reverts "elements". because of this, @ 1 time, had several different labels partitions , drives in /media, removed didn't have in them, however, still have 2 instances of each external drive in fstab.

on maybe related point, had use live usb install 12.04 (also having issues internal dvd drive) , install put grub somewhere (not sure where) , had use usb flash drive boot until manually installed grub sda1.
basically, how label partitions/drives, , how can 12.04 correctly label them?

info follow
