Can you tell us what you are trying to do and the (error) messages you are getting?

It shoud be like this:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda1
UUID=4e83bdf2-ea2b-416c-85b0-ed2c56a19433 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro,usrquota,grpquota 0 1
# /dev/sda5
UUID=2ded13c4-6693-47ca-b1c8-18ebd32dbce9 none swap sw 0 0

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

But when I press arrows on keyboard, it looks like that: (no errors and no messages)

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
[A/]
# /dev/sda1

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

Oh I have to tell you that longer than you hold arrows, more [A/] appears

OK, can you try with gedit then? vi is quite powerful but it requires a steep learning curve. The letters seem to indicate that you were inserting control characters instead of moving within the file.

my nano /etc/fstab looks like this
