Bug Description
Kubuntu 7.04 (upgraded from 6.10) confuses partitions on different disks.
Machine is configured to dual boot with XP. Normally, when I boot Kubuntu, the XP partition is mounted on /media/xp (I think I assigned that pathname during the initial install). But, some time ago I made a backup copy of the XP partition onto a USB disk drive (using gparted). Recently I happened to boot Kubuntu with the USB disk drive powered on and plugged in, and the backup copy of the XP partition on the USB disk was mounted in place of the original XP partition on the computer's main (SATA) disk. Very confusing until I looked carefully at the output of "mount".
