I did "mount -t ntfs /dev/hdh1 /mnt" (as root and without the quotes) and I am now able to see the contents of my NTFS drive but only as root and only in the terminal window. How do I enable this drive to be accessible for all users all the time and be accessible via Konqueror or Nautilus or other file managers?
When you mount the drive, you should be able to use any file manager to see the contents of the drive. But in your instance you cannot? This is puzzling to say the least. To have the system allow you to mount the drives try this. In the fstab change the type from auto to ntfs and make sure that in the options field that you have user in there. Here is an exapmle of what it should look like. You will need to edit the /etc/fstab as root. Substitute the hd parameter with the correct one for your machine. /dev/hdh1 /windows ntfs ro,user,exec,noauto 0 0 The above should tell the mount program to mount the first partition on disk hdh to the mountpoint /windows and use ntfs file system to mount it and allow users to mount with read only, can execute files and do not automatically mount at boot. You can change the directory on where it mounts all you have to do is create the directory that you want to mount the partition to and them edit the /etc/fstab to reflect where you want to mount the partition to.
When I installed SuSE 9.0, I use new disks. Now that I have 9.0 up and running, I need to reconnect the 5 Hard Drives I had in my Windows 2000 machine in order to retrieve the files from them. I plan on simply needing them for read access. Some of the files will be moved from the storage drives to my /Documents folder.
The above should do it for you. HTH -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, we just do not have all the answers to make the impossible, possible."
