That makes absolutely no sense in the context? You first say you change your fstab file and later in the same sentence say that you can't make any changes to fstab and can't boot. So which is it? Were you able to boot before making a change to fstab? Can't boot after the change? Did you make a change? If so, what was it?and i added with out no fearless
From your comments, it appears you do not have an actual Ubuntu installation but a wubi folder inside windows, is that right?
What was the problem with rar files and what did you do?

Hi yancek
I did that process before that problem happened.Now im not able to do anything. I mean i have to be careful when i try some thing with fstab file. it could be very dangerous.
Lets come to Rar file problem. I have rar file in this file there is a file with other language character encoding.Thats why it gives error.And i could extract that file in windows.

Do you have unrar installed?
What is the filename and where is it located on your computer?
What is the command you use? and what is the specific error you get?
Open rar file or Extract rar files under Linux or UNIX
I'm not familiar with rar files so I doubt if I'll be able to help.

But first of all.
I need to open ubuntu desktop.I have to fix this /etc/fstab mess.As i told u.Im no longer able to load gnome desktop. I have to change back to fstab old properties.But im not longer able to get root authorization.
it wont let me be a root user to change this file.Code:sudo gedit /etc/fstab sudo mc sudo nano -w /etc/fstab
sudo -i (to became #) either dont work.
Im stuck now

/etc/fstab
and during boot process it gives this error messageCode:# /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> proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk / ext4 loop,errors=remount-ro,utf8 0 1 /host/ubuntu/disks/swap.disk none swap loop,sw 0 0
But this time system loads with read only modeCode:An error occurred while mounting / Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery
