#1

I can not see this sdb2 directory when I use thunar /media/andy/MAXTOR_SDB2/.

It said "Failed to open media/andy/Maxtor_SDB2/.

Do I need to make a change in fstab?

/ was on /dev/sda1 during installation

#2

It says its mounted at /dev/sdb2. Why dont you open gparted and look at where its mounted or the disks utility to double check. Its not mounted at /media/andy/Maxtor_SDB2/.

Or alternatively comment out the last line so its not automounted on startup and it will most likely mount as it did before.

#3

I had to add this to fstab.
