error occured while mounting /media/sdb1.
Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.

this comes up every time i boot.

and after cat/etc/fstab this comes up:

/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 vfat uid=users,users 0 0
/dev/sdb2 /media/sdb2 hfsplus defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ext4 defaults 0 0

remnants from usb sticks and an external HD that are no connected.

tried to remove the mountpoints with sudo rmdir /media/sdb1, but no help.
I am newbie and I mean NEWbie. Can someone head me in the right direction?

Try

Code:

sudo nano /etc/fstab

to edit your /etc/fstab file.
I suggest you comment out unwanted lines by inserting a # in position 1.

CTRL+O to save and CTRL+X to leave the editor.

Rebooting will test your new fstab.
