I also keep getting an error when trying different mount options saying that it can't mount because /dev/sdb1 is not a directory.

You do not mount /dev/sda, that refers to the entire disk. You mount /dev/sda1 or whatever partition you want.
Make a mount point, call it anything you like.
sudo mkdir /media/2tb
Mount
sudo mount -o ro /dev/sda1 /media/2tb
See man mount or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab

You could try it without mounting your NTFS drive earlier, just starting Dropbox later.
#!/bin/bash
#insert seconds to wait before dropbox start
wait 15
dropbox
And add that script to your Startup Applications.
Allthough I am not sure why you have that issue, I myself never had that issue and I always had the Dropbox Directory on an NTFS drive.

Ok. I used mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/windows and it returned no errors. Then I entered mount and found "/dev/sdb1 on /media/windows type fuseblk (rw,allow other,blksize=4096)" so I can mount the /sdb1 partition to the /windows directory, but the assignment specifically says to mount the /media/windows to /dev/sdb1.
Also... I seem to just not have an ...

/dev is usually a tmpfs mount that is managed by udev, so it has to be the actual same file system as on the host machine. That means that you would need to use the bind mount method.
mount --rbind /dev/media/windows /dev/sdb1 -t ntfs

In Windows 8, a feature called hybrid shutdown is enabled by default to make it boot faster. This function is leaving the filesystem in a hibernated state, so it doesn't get closed properly at shutdown. The explanation is here:

I'd like to offer some advice rather than gift wrapping an answer. Funny thing about computers. They're built by humans to be logical and sensible. They aren't designed to be tricky, but they are complex, and the documentation, when there is documentation at all, never covers all possible contingencies.
Forgive me for making assumptions, but it seems to me ...

You need to add the hard drive to /etc/fstab
edit /etc/fstab as root and add a line for the hard drive. Something like:
/dev/sdb1 /media/second ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
should work. If the filesystem is ext4 (or any file system that supports it) then normal Linux permissions will be in effect.
If you never bothered to format ...

Actually what you need is a MultiSystem. It uses similar option as GRUB and you can mount almost any ISO file. Worked well for me.

im going to guess you are trying to install without a disc, im my experience the iso mounting occurs when the system loads and its after grub, may i suggest opening or mounting the iso and copying the files onto a USB, that should work, oh and make sure the partition settings of the usb are the same, eg the partition can be booted.

FreeNAS is unix-based, and you want to mount it on a linux machine.
I think you need to mount it with NFS because that's also linux, unix based, instead of CIFS which was written for windows machines.
sudo mount -t nfs //192.168.1.20/Tunes /mnt/tunes -o user=john

You don't make clear in your question as to how you have set up name resolution in your network for your server.
Do you have a DNS server configured with the name of the server in it or have you added the server-name to the hosts file on your client.
A couple of ways you could progress here:
Check in file /etc/hosts for an entry of the form:

It actually sounds more like an issue with your computer's hardware than an Ubuntu specific issue. Do you have issues with all USB devices, or is it just disk drives?
You could plug something in and use lsusb to check if the device is actually there and unmounted or if it's physically becoming disconnected due to some fault with the USB ports.
You could ...

That was my exact situation , and solved by removing fsc option from the following line at etc/fstab :

Workaround: add a filter in the "Ports" tab of the virtual machine settings, then unplug the disk, start the virtual machine, and plug it in again once the VM has booted.

This error indicates that the drive can not be unmounted from the host, most likely because it is accessed from an application there, or any file operation to the flash drive is pending.
Since your host OS is Windows we can not really tell what might be the cause in your case, and how to resolve it (virus scanner?).

I wouldn't suggest creating a swap partition on a flash device. The read/write rate when swapping would shorten the life of the drive considerably. But if you like, here how its done:
Open disks from dash, and follow the images below in the order that they are listed:
Click the + sign to create a partition
Make sure the right type is choose, and name is ...

Reformat the entire fat16 drive, the USB should be right on unity sidebar (Or wherever you've tweaked it), right click it and re-format (Use ubuntu, ubuntu formats drives 1000 times the speed of windows, period.)
Re-partition it. (Use ubuntu software center to easily find multiple linux partitioners)
Attempt to put all the files back onto the USB now.

In windows, i made the mistake of plugging the HDD into an USB port with low power supply. It hadn't been correctly mounted, so i hadn't the chance of 'safely' removing it.
As soon as I plugged the HDD i got a notification message from Windows saying that it failed in writing a system file which got 'pointers' at it end.
The drive was well formatted, in ...

Like Thefourtheye said, your Windows is in hibernation mode. If you intentionally selected this mode, a clean shutdown should do the trick.
What I would like to add is if you have Windows 8, by default, even when you shutdown the computer, Windows goes to hibernation. It's called "hybrid mode" of "fast startup": when you select shutdown in Windows 8, your ...

Try running the unmount command with root permissions from the CLI.
Open a Terminal window with alt+t or by searching for "Terminal" in Finder.
Going off the data you provided about the error, it looks like your HDD is mounted at '/media/My Passport'. To unmount it, run sudo unmount "/media/My Passport". Enter your password when prompted.

/dev/sdb represents the whole storage device. The individual partitions are addressed by numbers following the device name, e.g. sdb1 is the 1st partition in the storage device sdb. As USB flash drives usually have only one partition, the mount command should be:
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
0
sda or sdb is just the name of your storage device, if you want to mount it you must enter the partition number too.
mkdir -p /media/usb
mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb

The first one looks good, try mounting without the options
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.40/media /mnt/media
enter your username and password (for your cuifs mount) when prompted.
The second one looks as if you are missing your mount point.
sudo mkdir -p /c/USB_HDD_4

Your dir_mode is 711. It's rwxr--r--. Directories need to be executable. Try changing it to 755.
And set your .utascredential file to: -rwxr-xr-x

You only mention one storage device type - usb stick. Whenever usb devices don't mount correctly check that you don't have package called usbmount installed. If it is, remove it and life should be back to normal after that (you might need to restart).

Start by CIFS installation. To do so, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command below:
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
Once done you need to mount network folders. For complete instructions and how to, see the Mount Windows Shares Permanently.

Solution 1: Try the Disks program (if you run Ubuntu with a GUI).
(check that the gnome-disk-utility package is installed)

Hit SUPERA to open the Application Lens and type Disks in the Search Applications field.
(SUPER is probably the key with the Windows icon.)
In Disks you can play with the automount ...

The problem is that the disk is marked as "unclean," meaning that it was not shut down properly and may contain errors. Unfortunately, there's no Linux utility to repair such problems on NTFS volumes. The ntfsfix utility recommended by shardival repairs only the most basic errors and then schedules a full repair by Windows the next time it's booted, so it's ...

sudo lsusb is the first step. looking in /mnt or /media, or /anywherelse implies the hardware has been mounted. The hardware maybe plugged in but not mounted.

sudo lsusb will tell you what usb devices Linux detects. Whether a usb storage device mounts, or is detected, are separate issues. sudo lsusb -v will give verbose output, possibly more information than you want if the OS truly doesn't recognize the device.
alternatively, you could compare the lists of devices in /dev before and after plugging in the usb ...

Unable to mount Windows (NTFS) filesystem due to hibernation
Check out the solutions in that post^, the second one especially. It's read only, but its the only way to keep fastboot and access your windows drive.
Besides that, you could use windows to create a new partition which would be shared between both operating systems.
