The solution is simply.
Execute this command:
sudo vol_id -u /dev/hd1
Copy and paste the output in the correct line in /etc/fstab
If you are unsure, please attach here the output of the command and the content of the file and I will do it for you.

In fact I've never seen a device with this name.
Run this command
cat /etc/fstab
and send me the output.

Ok, I found the partition. So run this command for the windows partition:
sudo vol_id -u /dev/hda1
And for the swap file system:
sudo vol_id -u /dev/hda3

This is very strange... the UUIDs are correct! Try to restart your computer OR run this command
sudo umount -a && sudo mount -a
