Here is my partition data. If I can setup / and /home then I go into
/etc/fstab and set up the rest. Only once in many attempts did I get the
option to file a bug report!

Partitions /home/gld/myFiles is for personal data that will not be touched
when installing a new operating system and can be accessed by multiple
Linux operating systems. /home/myBackup and /home/myToshiba is for backing
up./home/myWindows is for transfering files to Windows.
