http://ubuntuforums.org – Ok, I guess I need help with this. I have a dual boot Vista/Ubuntu HP system. I decided to finally upgrade my 10.04 LTS to 12.04. All seemed to go well, but when I attempt a reboot, I get this message: "The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present". Hit 'skip' and it then says "The disk drive to /tmp is not ready or not present". Try another 'skip" then its: "the disk drive for /mnt/sda1 is not ready or not present." It hangs thereafter. If I go to manual recovery and type "fdisk -ls", all partitions for sda1 are listed and are corre (Hardware)

non-existing sdb1 always present 44 weeks 19 hours ago

Hi,

Every time that I boot Ubuntu (my only OS), I get the following message:

"drive disk for /media/sdb1 is not ready yet or not present"

Thus, Ubuntu does not start until I press "s" for skip.

Also sdb1 appears under Places all the time and it is not in the Media folder.

The above happens when there is no USB being used

Can any please help me to fix this problem.

[xfce] Can't log into Ubuntu 46 weeks 1 day ago

I tried to start my computer with a USB hard drive already connected and on(I was going to back up files). This led to a number of problems. First on booting the computer the screen showed this message " The disk drive for /media/Data Copy is not ready yet or not present" then offered option S to Skip, M manual recovery or wait.

On booting up my computer says "The disk drive for /tmp is not ready yet or not present."

How do I fix this?

Currently the "partition" of ubuntu is located, is a virtual drive called "boot.disk" and "swap.disk" in a actual partition called D: drive in windows OS.
