Hello!
First you have to know witch partitions you have to mount fro the new hdd. For this type: su - fdisk -l Now you'll have to look for the partitions containing somewhere vfat. I think they will be something like hdbx, where x is a number. Next you have to create 4 folders where the partitions will be mounted. I think in Suse they will be in /media, if not use /mnt instead. mkdir /media/winpartition1 mkdir /media/fatpartition2 mkdir /media/fatpartition3 mkdir /media/fatpartition4 To mount them you'll have to assign a partition for a directtory. mount -t vfat /mnt/hdb1 /media/fatpartition1 the rest will depend on your configuration, it should look like mount -t vfat /dev/hdbx /media/fatpartitionx .... and so on. To have the fat partitions mounted on each system start, you have to add this to the /etc/fstab file. /dev/hdb1 /mnt/fatpartition1 vfat defaults 0 0 ..... ..... ..... Hope this helped! Cheers, Boby |

i have OpenSuse 10.2 and i'm trying to add a new harddisc.
It's NOT directly on the motherboard's IDE, but via a Parallel ATA Controller, that's newly added too. Here's the info i get: Code:
