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?

Cheers, Bob

... and you're saying none of those partitions are the NT partition you're looking for?

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

This laptop came with two paritions related to XP. sda1 is NTFS as you can see. 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. I think sda4 has the actual XP on it. Here is the /proc/partitions you requsted. 8 0 117220824 sda 8 1 41005881 sda1 8 2 14546857 sda2 8 3 1052257 sda3 8 4 1 sda4 8 5 2104483 sda5 8 6 20972826 sda6 8 7 37535841 sda7 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
