I have an HP laptop that is dual booted, XP and Linux.

With 10.2 and now 10.3 I do not see the XP partition showing up so I can traverse the NTFS filesystem within Linux.

Anyone have any clues how I can fix this?

I guess this will work: # mkdir /mnt/WinXP # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/WinXP or to get ntfs write support install ntfs-3g # mkdir /mnt/WinXP # ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/WinXP On Mon, 2007-10-08 at 15:22 -0600, Chris Worley wrote:

Does "cat /proc/partitions" show any other devices that partition might be on?

Your welcome. To mount Windows at boot every time add it to fstab with the help of yast2 -> system -> partitioner Add this line: On Mon, 2007-10-08 at 20:33 -0700, Robert Lewis wrote:

This laptop came with two paritions related to XP. sda1 is NTFS as you can see.

That is XP. I believe you have XP media center.

sda2 I think is some weird special partition that has a mini os on it so that one can play a DVD without actually booting XP and utilizes the remote control that came with the machine.

That is the media center boot option, or boot button. It boots a media center to watch movies. sda3 is the data portion used by media center. It is a raw disk.

I think sda4 has the actual XP on it.

That is an extended partition, which contain the logical drives that has your linux on them. So sda1 IS your XP partition. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
