Hi:
I just did a reinstall of 7.10, reusing my /home partition. I have a new WD 500 gig usb external hard drive attached, it has two partitions /dev/sdc1 about 86 gb and /dev/sdc2 the rest of the disk. The laptop has a 80 gig hard drive with three partitions /dev/sda1 which is / and about 7.5 gig, /dev/sda2 which is swap, /dev/sda3 which is /home. The problem is that booting stops looking for some uuid's that just are not there. This is my mtab:
/dev/sda1 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/sys /sys sysfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
varrun /var/run tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755 0 0
varlock /var/lock tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777 0 0
udev /dev tmpfs rw,mode=0755 0 0
devshm /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
lrm /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/volatile tmpfs rw 0 0
/dev/sda3 /home ext3 rw 0 0
securityfs /sys/kernel/security securityfs rw 0 0
This is my fstab:
/etc/fstab: static file system information.

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0
There is no /dev/sdc5, and the partitions on /dev/sdc are unlabeled as I could not figure out how to label them. But would like to label /dev/sdc1 /backup and /dev/sdc2 data. Can some one help so that I can have a smooth boot. TIA
