I'm sorry about my post in the "[SOLVED] pre-boot "Press S to skip mounting" error" I should have started a new thread and now I can't delete that post, anyway....

I am so new to Linux, so I might not know what I'm talking about, but I have the error press s to skip, just like the title shows. I installed win7 first, then linux mint, then had to rebuilt the grub, something like this "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sd" and now when I boot into linux I get the message "Keys: Continue to wait, or press S to skip mounting of M for manual recovery"

If I press s it goes right into mint, no errors.

I followed a different thread as best I could. I did alt F2 then typed "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" and it opened a blank window titled "etc/fstab". Then in the terminal I typed "sudo blkid -c /dev/null".
Next it said to compare the 2, but like I mentioned, the fstab was empty.

Oh, and windows 7 boots fine.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or how to fix this error?

Take a photo of the message(s) and post that so we can get an idea of what and where it's coming from.

Show us links to the threads you used to "fix" your issues.

As for your other post, go back and click the "Report" button and ask to have it deleted.

Here is where I got the fix to repair grub (I have no idea what that even is) http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/245

Now, I was just reading another forum post and it explained better how to get to fstab, so I was able to get to it and take a photo.
Here are screen shots, one of the error, then one of fstab and blkid, I hope this helps.

I did what you said and requested to delete my post in the wrong thread.

OK, now we have all the attachments ...
The entry in /etc/fstab for /boot is wrong - you appear not to have a separate /boot partition. Don't know what happened.
Use sudo to gedit /etc/fstab, and comment out the line that starts as UUID=c9ad... - simply instert a # followed by a blank before UUID. Save the change and reboot.

When I did this, all kinds of errors showed up in the terminal window, but it worked, I rebooted and no more "Press S", thank you very much.
I'm posting the image of the errors, I'm assuming they're normal but if you have time could you please take a look?

Ignore them.

Cool, thank you again for all your help.
