Open a terminal

type sudo edit /etc/rc6.d/S40umountfs
you will be asked for a password. Type the password you use to login in to your desktop at start up

In the file scroll down and when you see

fstab-decode umount -f -r -d $WEAK_MTPTS

 replace it with

fstab-decode umount -r -d $WEAK_MTPTS

and replace

fstab-decode umount -f -v -r -d $WEAK_MTPTS

with

fstab-decode umount -v -r -d $WEAK_MTPTS

save

now reboot.

This is a walk through of the instructions of 19. If i had my glasses on i would have not misread the file name and I would not have had so much trouble that you can see in my comments. If you are using Kubuntu you can use Sudo kate and use Kate to find the file and edit it. Kate is a graphical interface file editor that you might find easier. I hope that helps.

BTW now fixed, Kubuntu is sweet. Still going to part with my £30 for W7 as well
