You said that drive 3 was for more Linux data, so you must have mounted 
it within Linux. Did it have a permanent mount line in fstab, or did you 
mount it on the fly when you needed it?

I think you may be having a problem with the system automatically trying 
to mount the drive, but can't. Plus, depending on the last two values of 
the line in fstab can define what the system should do if there's an error.
