Nedd access to Windows partitions
I have just installed opensuse 10.2 on a system with three hard drives. Hda and Hdb are both Windows hard drives that are setup with Windows dynamic partitions. Hdd is installed with Suse. Can you tell me how I can find the other two hard drives and mount these partitions and also how I can edit Grub so that it boots the windows system that I cannot currently see.
Thanks for any help! |
Take a look at file /boot/grub/menu.lst (you need root authority to view the file. In a terminal window, su to root, then give the command 'cat /boot/grub/menu.lst').
Does it have entries for windows (bootable OS only)? Then look at /etc/fstab. Does it also list the windows partitions? My experience with SuSE says it should have written those two files to include the windows partitions. |
Thanks for your reply! I have taken a look at both files and neither have any reference to the Windows partitions that I have on the disks. During the install process when the system came to reboot, it did list options for Linux native, but when setup had finished those options had disappeared. I am wondering if there is not support for SuSE to recognise a Windows Dynamic partition which is why I am unable to see them?
Cheers for your help! |
I tried Google using "windows dynamic partition in linux" and got some promising hits. It appears that the "Windows dynamic partition" is some form of RAID.
