Manuel,

thank you. I know about that. But on another machine I'm running Red Hat, in
fact the
old version 5.0, and *that* has no problems in reading/writing to the Win
partition. It also
reports correct the utilization of the Win partition.

I had so many troubles with SuSE linux so I start to think it was stupid to
make the
move from RedHat to SuSE.

Best regards,

/Sakis
