Hi all: I have recently up-graded my "old" machine and installed a new HD while leaving the "old" drive temporarily as a slave. The "old" drive I had been using fro about 3 years and had therefore up-graded from 6.0 to 7.3 in stages. As such, on my desktop I had HD icons for the various Win partitions on the drive in the machine, including one for the NT partition. On clicking these icons, all would merrily boot up so I could shuffle material from partition to partition. These were on a second drive in the machine. On the new machine I have a large drive with 2000 in the beginning and SuSE 7.3 on the rest. When the machine booted up there was no icon for 2000 as there was before and when I added it, it would not boot, despite having the same fstab entry as before. IN 7.1 or 7.2 (KDE 2.1), there was an option to configure the kernel and add ntfs support but I can't find it in this version. I have also rtfm about configuring the kernel and followed the instructions (p. 232 of the reference manual) about running make config at /usr/src/linux, but that does not exist. Any suggestions about how I can get to the kernel and make ntfs support happen or what I am doing wrong? Paul
Hi
You will need to install the kernel sources from the SuSE Install CDs -
use YaSTs package management. This will allow you to rebuild the kernel for
NTFS support. Kernel source will be installed in /usr/src/linux
