This doesn't work :( I get the error "File System Type Unknown" or something
similar after the root line, and nothing happens.

I can mount the drive as you suggest with the option errors=recover, but after I
unmount it and try and mount it without that option, it fails again.

Windows appears to be unbootable right now. I haven't worked in Windows since it
was working and the only thing I've done on the computer is a dist-upgrade on my
Breezy installation.
