I reinstalled Ubuntu yesterday, and after using 'Disk Utility' one of my partitions doesn't allow to get files saved.

This is what the fstab file looks like

proc                                       /proc            proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid                                                           0  0

     /dev/sda5                                  /media/sda5      vfat     defaults                                                                      0  0

The one giving me problems is "sda5" and it seems to appear twice, one time at the very end.

You should edit fstab and delete the last entry. – mikewhatever Jul 13 '12 at 15:19

You should edit fstab and delete the last entry. To edit the file, run

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

...save and exit when done.
