Hello, Having a problem with my Win98 partition on my second HD. When i go to /root/mnt/Win98/Windows->Desktop, nothing comes up and Kfm freezes. I can look at any other part of the C:\ drive, ie: Program Files, etc. but not my windows desktop. I keep transfered files in a folder there so I can access them from linux or anywhere else. This has not happened before with prior installs of SuSE, and I did the same things this time when I re-installed SuSE after my Mandrake fiasco. I also loose my KDE desktop icons and end up rebooting. This happens as user or root and scares me when it happens as root as I do not want to mess up this install. SuSE is on hda and Win98 is on hdb. Any thoughts? Could samba somehow affect this?

Tom, This is a guess and only a guess. If Win98 is on hdb, then your C: drive would be /dev/hdb1, but your D: drive in all likelihodo is NOT /dev/hdb2. That's because /dev/hdb2 is an extended partition into which DOS/Win writes its logical partitions. On my WinNT machine, my D: drive is /dev/hdb5, believe it or not! To check this out, su to root and run fdisk /dev/hdb. Type "p" to print the partition information. You should see where your drives are that way.

I wouldn't think so, unless you're trying to do an smbmount. What I do is a "regular" mount, and that does fine.

Thanks, Buddy, for the response, I'll check it out. Went to Windows side of life to run scandisk just for grins and there on my desktop was a directory containing the entry Kde and what looked like some configuration entries. Unfortunately, I deleted it before I wrote down what was in that directory. There was also the same thing in \Windows. Weird. I must have mounted my vfat partition wrong somehow. Sometimes when you try too hard not to screw up, then......... Guess I'll keep pokin' around. Thanks again, Tom
