Fsck Error during boot


For some reason fsck has the wrong data stored in /etc/fstab for 2 of my drives (compare list of dev by UUID to the fstab and you will see the discrepancies).This of course causes an error an puts me into a shell. Ubuntu still will load fine if Ctrl +D is pressed though. Any suggestions are appreciated. I don't wan't to have to reformat and install if at all possible. Thanks!!

ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid

It would be easier to see the discrepancies you refer to by comparing the output of 'fdisk -l' and /etc/fstab.

Then, I'd say, edit fstab to match the output of fdisk, as far as drive and partition numbers are concerned.
