Natty Mount output; you can see that there is only /dev/sda1 I have /dev sda1 /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1... I can rectify by running "sudo update-grub" in Maverick but every time I use update manager in Natty it screws up again...the two grubs seem to be incompatible...My Maverick sdc1 drive is a 320 gig USB device, hope that helps.
