Unfortunately, tune2fs doesn't work with ntfs. But, there needs to be a better way anyhow. We often have cards from our camera, video camera, usb drives etc. sitting in our computer. Surely, there must be a way for GRUB to simply ignore these.<br>

Well, I haven't done anything yet. I moved the computer, which involved unplugging and re-plugging the USB cables. Now, it just works. I have tried breaking it again by putting the cables back in their original position, but to no avail. Weird. <br>
<br>Thanks for your help. I suspect that this is a short term fix and "tune2fs -L" will be utilized in the near future. In the mean time, "If it ain't broke..."<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">

Yeah, i've had this same problem. I do think the solution is referencing<br>
all partitions by uuid, not just the linux ones. I believe you would<br>
just use the uuid's from your list below that correspond to the Windows<br>
drives. An easier way to do it might be to assign a label to the drives,<br>
which GRUB also supports. (In Windows, you would just do that in the<br>
drive properties; in Linux, I believe tune2fs -L is the command you want).<br>
