Somshankar Bose is still having a problem:
Tom..I fixed the startup problem...and your suggestions helped a lot...I think I found the problem..
You are correct about sdb1...which was the problem child. I did have ubuntu on the system before I added a NTFS harddrive to the ubuntu system. 

So what I did was...

See the command from 
tulku@tulku:~$ sudo blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="7eb0c1c5-16e9-4c82-954b-95c57e9c4042" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sda5: UUID="0EEBEDCE466E1CAB" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sdb1: UUID="5463B77E69C9DF83" TYPE="ntfs

Here sdb1 is listed as a NTFS drive...however
on this command
gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

I had an extra line which listed sdb1 as a ext2...and I think that was
giving a problem.

I will paste
gksudo gedit /etc/fstab again so you guys can tell me the corrections exactly.
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
#  -- This file has been automaticly generated by ntfs-config -- 
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# Entry for /dev/sda1 :
UUID=7eb0c1c5-16e9-4c82-954b-95c57e9c4042 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sda5 /media/sda5 ntfs-3g defaults,uid=1000 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ntfs-3g defaults,uid=1000 0 0
UUID=5463B77E69C9DF83 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,uid=1000 0 0

the last two lines I think are both for sdb1...should I delete one...
