Hi
I have just installed Suse 11.2, replacing 11.0.
I have 3 disks as shown in the fdisk -l listing:-

The problem I am having is I cannot write to the big disk - device /dev/sdb System HPFS/NTFS.
I had no problem when using Suse 11.0. I cannot remember how it was set up.

mount shows:

# LIST STARTS ##

fstab looks like this:

I am using KDE as desktop
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.

I have solved this. Set correct permissions to the mounted directory, and it worked!
Thanks again

The last line in your fstab shows that you have no rights umask=000. Change umask=777, restart and try again.
