As you can see in the other response I have recovered the partitions. But, I still have the problem of not being able to boot without the drive being plugged in. I did select the option to NOT mount at boot time, and I did assign Volume labels for each partition. Because of that it made entries in fstab.
Can I just delete those entries from fstab so that it will boot without the drive being plugged in? The drive works as expected on my 10.0 OS. bringing up the "Device Found" windows which I can open and see.
Just add noauto to the options for each one, and it will not try to mount them at boot. Are you not able to boot at all, or are there just errors? No boot may mean /boot/grub/device.map has the drive in it and it is causing confusing. If there are just errors, then the noauto will cure that. For example, LABEL=USBBackup /media/USBBackup ext3 user,noauto,acl,user_xattr 0 0 is a line for my usb backup drive in my fstab.
