Glad it worked Tom.

fstab NORMALLY is not edited, it's created during install, but sometimes 
the installer has issues with CD/DVD drives.
Only when you add/remove a disk or CD/DVD you may need to edit it, but 
often the hardware detect or the parted program may do it on booth.

I have also seen bad entries in fstab with SD cards.

Enjoy your PC/Linux, happy to help.
