    boot error after internal write enable in ntfs-config

    Hello all, I somehow made the root partition read only after enabling internal write in ntfs-config. I had swapped out a HD for a different one and somehow the /dev/sd? changed for the ext4 partition. I didn't notice and removed what i thought was the only HD entry in fstab, but actually removed the root drive entry. I've since reinstalled the OS but i would like to know how to fix this in case it happens again. I looked online for answers and found a couple ways to fix the fstab file but was not able to get access to the root drive. Kept getting "no such mount point in fstab" or "permission denied" so is there a way to get around this through the live cd or emergency cmd line? I tried
    # cat /proc/mounts > /etc/fstab
    # chmod 644 /etc/fstab
    as well as a couple other things with no results. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
