The disk drive for‭ ‬/media/My_Passport is not ready yet or not present

The disk drive for‭ ‬/media/My_Passport is not ready yet or not present

I have a dual boot with Mint MATE and Xubuntu on ONE hard drive.‭ ‬I NOW have a problem when booting into Xubuntu with a notice of the following:

The disk drive for‭ ‬/media/My_Passport is not ready yet or not present.‭ ‬Continue to wait,‭ ‬or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery. I would like to eliminate the warning completely!

I recently had connected my USB hard drive but also installed the NTFS configuration tool.‭ ‬Not sure if the new app caused the problem.‭ ‬I also brought the USB hard drive to a friends home who copied some files to his MAC computer.‭ ‬Any HELP would be much appreciated!

GNU nano 2.2.6              File: /etc/fstab

You should add nobootwait to your /etc/fstab. So that it looks like the following:

UUID=4E1AEA7B1AEA6007 /media/My_Passport ntfs defaults,nobootwait,nls=utf8,umask$

Below is from the fstab man page:

The mountall(8) program that mounts filesystem during boot also recognises additional options that the ordinary mount(8) tool does not. These are: bootwait which can be applied to remote filesystems mounted outside of /usr or /var, without which mountall(8) would not hold up the boot for these; nobootwait which can be applied to non-remote filesystems to explicitly instruct mountall(8) not to hold up the boot for them;
