A warning dialog box open every time i login

Asked by Prabal pratap singh

Hi friends,
I am using Ubuntu 10.10
Though my problem is not so big but i want to get rid it off.
Actually i was moving data from file system (root) partition to another partition
on my hard drive and mistakenly i turned off my computer directly form UPS.
Now every time i login to computer a warning dialog box is shown and the folder from which i was
moving data is opened.
The warning dialog box shows-

                 Could not find "/media/214GB Drive/Videos".
                 Please check the spelling and try again.

214GB Drive is the name of partition on hard drive and Videos is the folder which i was moving data to.
Please tell me how can i remove my problem so that the dialog box is not shown again.

Can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a; file /media/214GB\ Drive/Videos

Thanks

Could you check if "214GB" is declared in /etc/fstab. It should not.

Yes my friend it was not shown.
It shows-

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

FWIW its a REAL pain to wrte click this click that click the other. It's much easier and faster to give commands to run in terminal, plus you can copy and paste the command and copy and paste the output. This not only gives helpers control of what is going on but also removes the possibility that helpees may click the wrong thing, or get confused. This is also a forum which is text based (as you can see) so using text based help is incredibly logical).

Sorry for GUI. Could you check that the following command
   cd ~/.nautilus; find . -print0 | xargs -0 fgrep "214GB"
return any result

but now both the folders which i was moving data(/home/prabal/Videos) & the other from
which i was moving data(/media/214GB Drive/Videos) are opening as i login to computer.

Can you help with this problem?
