Exclamation Unable to access windows drives in openSUSE 12.1


I just installed openSUSE 12.1 and I am unable to find my windows drives.
I did select the options to mount as /windows/C, /windows/D etc.
I do not see any place to access them from like the my computer icon, or the file manager.

You use linux drivers for a linux system. The rare time you would use a windbloze driver is for a wireless card that there is no linux driver for. Then you need a package called ndiswrapper installed first.

If you want to see what 'drivers' ( they are called modules in linux ) you are using, open a command prompt, enter the command 'lsmod' and press enter. All commands are entered without the quotes, just what is between them. On an average system this will produce a list of about 30 lines or so.

If you have your windoze partitions mounted, there are several ways of finding files. The find command will work, you need to know the name of the file you are looking for. Never seen a gui way to locate windoze bits and pieces, outside of using a file manager program like Thunar.

See the man page for the use of 'find' to find things in linux from a command prompt.
