Hi, I just installed Suse 10.3 on my notebook, works fine, but I have a problem, I can't write anything on my windows ntfs partition. Even as root logged in. For example, if I try to create a new folder I get this: http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/1...apshot1gh3.png.
I installed after that all the ntfs packages with the software manager: http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/821/snapshot2or0.png.
I still get the same error message . Does anyoane know what's going on? Thank you.

How did you mount the ntfs partition? The ntfs writing support requires the fuse kernel module which is provided and loaded by default on OpenSuSE 10.3. On my system other requirements are only ntfs-3g and libfuse2.

well it's mounted by Suse at start-up.

Ok. Can you post the content of /etc/fstab and the output of the following command?

so go to the start menu and type in the "search" dialog "ntfs" and it will appear "Configuration Tool-Ntfs Configuration Tool"...just click on it and after that I think you'll know what to do it's written and very simple just read and so your problem will be solved :P Good Luck :P

Here is fstab:

I tried that tool bugi_man but i don't thnk it works

I succeded, the 3g configuration tool was not configured corectly. Thanck all .

Hi, i also have the same problem. i cant write into ntfs disk. I click on start and type nfts, but no configuration tool was found. I read that its set in tge 3g configuration tool. Where do i find that in kde?

Thanks

In the KDE Menu it should be under System --> Applications --> File System. If it's not there maybe you have to install it. Anyway, for sure open a terminal and issue
if no output you have to install. Go to Yast/Software Manager and look for it. Cheers

Hi, i have go to my yast software management. i type ntfs in the search box, these are the only three it displays. It does not have the ntfs-config.

ntfs-3g
ntfsprogs
ntfsprogs-fuse

Any guidance? please... Where can i get the ntfs-config?

From the Commnunity Repositories add the Main Repository (OSS)
Make sure that it is enabled at the Software Repositories.
That would do the trick

Oh yeas.. Thanks it works
