I am still finding its flakey. What I did was change "user" to "users" and deleted "noexec". It seemed to work on the next reboot and then not after that.

Also if I put a music cd in, I couldn't manage to mount it but surprise, if I started the play music cd pgm on the menu, that worked.

Just out of interest what system are you running on. Mine is an Athlon 1gz on a Gigabyte GA-7IXE4 Motherboard. As not too many others seem to have this problem maybe its a hardware glitch. However I did have 3.3 working nicely on the hd.

Warning, I am self taught and I recommend reading "man fstab" (enter this at a command line) first, I have just glossed over it.
