Lots worse than that! I didn't know what mounted means! Since
I wrote that I learned more and consider you have 10 versions
of Ubuntu on your HD, and you look at it with Gparted.
After doing this I discovered that the ONLY mounted partition
is the one I am using. The other 9 versions are not mounted.
So if you see a partition unmounted it is normal...ge-whiz.
So off I go with new information I didn't have yesterday.
