Again, I'm a newbie on SuSe....I have a dual boot with about 10gigs alocated to windows 98. With Mandrake I could mount the windows partition with a file manager and manipulate files, put docs from open office into "My Documents" on the windows partition. With SuSe, I chose the default installation which boots windows fine. However, 2 things different: 1-there was no /home partition created-is this weird or do I just make a folder for /Home. 2-under /mnt there is no windows partition listed. Is it somewhere else? I know its there cuz I can boot to it?
in fstab add (if one doesn't already exist) /dev/hda6 /Windows/F vfat noauto,user,rw,exec 0 0
I did that with the line /dev/hda1 /windows vfat nonauto,user,rw,exec 0 0 in the /etc/fstab
look again at the example, your line should look: /dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat nonauto,user,rw,exec 0 0 and there needs to be another *empty* line below this. That *was* the last line in the /etc/fstab file, was it not? This is the warning, no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab. A *directory* also needs to exist in your system as: /windows/C ie: mkdir /windows/C Now on boot the system will look at the fstab file and see that you want to be able to access the first partition on the first hard drive from your directory /windows/C and will assign it there.
mont: mount point /windows does not exist ????????????????
mount point /windows does not exist because you do not have a *directory* /windows in your linux system. Above /windows/C. Linux is *very* particular and instructions that you are given will *not* succeed unless they are followed specifically, provided that they were correct <grin>.
