Hello,

i recently installed on my laptop SuSE Linux 9.2 Pro, but i can't access to my windows partitions from Linux... too bad because i have all my stuff in there...

i previously had SuSE 9.1 and this was availiable from the beginning... anyone can tell me how can i do it ?

tkz!

btw: it is an Acer TravelMate 291 LCi

It might just be that the partition needs mounting. Try

Code:

mount /media/win_c

(replace /media/win_c/ with whichever directory you expect to contain your Windows partition).

YaST will let you set this up via the partitions icon in the hardware tab (I think that's where it is).

Alternatively, edit /etc/fstab and add the windows partition in the same format as the other lines. Typing this in a console will explain the format:

Code:

man fstab

cd /
mkdir /mnt/c
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/c

replace hda1 with hdXY
where X is the HD number/letter
If your Windows partiton is on the first HD then it should be
hdaY, if its on the second HD then it should be hdbY .
Y is the partition number, if you only have a large C:
then it should be hdX1 .

If it doesn't work try /dev/hdb1 or /dev/hda3 et.c.
My D-partition is /dev/hdb5, other have /dev/hdc3 et.c.
Mess around and try different values.

Yes; it's called a shell script.
Create the file with the first line as

Code:

#!/bin/bash

Then type the commands into the file exactly as you would at a command prompt.

Save the file, say to script.sh, then make it executable using

Code:

chmod a+rx script.sh

Then you can run the file just like any other command. NB: you will need to specify ./script.sh if the current working directory isn't in your PATH.
