If you want to leave it hooked up on startup, you'll have to either use GPartEd to 'turn off' that boot flag, or turn it off as a boot selection in your BIOS. The former option is preferable because THAT will keep it from trying to boot into a Windows install that doesn't exist...
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=446 count=1
lsblk
sudo blkid
If I try to mount the external drive now I get the following error: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /home/jonathan/ntfsfilesmount failed
Before, without modifying the fstab file, the drive would open Thunar after boot, when the drive would suddenly be mounted.
cat /etc/fstab
The NTLDR error persists on attempts to restart.
