I changed one of my Windows partitions and now when Linux boots it doesn't recognize the partition.

I suppose I need to run a configure program, but I can find nothing in KDE that seems to do what I want.

Suggestions?

Hello Bill,

edit your /etc/fstab and change file system of the modified partition. Attention, this file is very important for system. You must be root to modify it (don't remove it and make a backup first one)

If your version of SuSE has a partitioner in YaST, do as Franz suggests and back up you fstab. Go into YaST->System->Partitioner, find the partition you changed. It will be most undoubtedly not labelled, give it a label (one of the presets not used by another partition, or more than likely your own name, such as "My stuff". "Video", "MP3files", "local2" or whatever. Once this is done click next (to save the changes). DO NOT FORMAT IT. This is if you've changed you Windows partiton to a Linux Partiton: /dev/hdb12 / /dev/hdb11 /boot /dev/hde1 /home /dev/hdb13 /usr/local If you changed you Windows partiton to another Windows partition it's essentially the same but you must stay with the Windows schema, such as: /dev/hda1 /windows/C /dev/hda5 /windows/D /dev/hda6 /windows/E /dev/hdb5 /windows/F /dev/hdb6 /windows/G /dev/hdb7 /windows/H /dev/hdb8 /windows/I /dev/hdb9 /windows/J /dev/hde5 /windows/K /dev/hde6 /windows/L /dev/hde7 /windows/M In which case you'll need to know which one isn't labelled and what is should be. This may not be as straight forward in the case the you'll notice that my Windows partitions are on three different HDDs: hda, hdb, and hde. In this case you'll likely notice something like specific HDD, Western digital WD <and some serial numbers>, Maxtor <more serial #s>, etc and one of these will have a partition that is not labelled. I this case you do the same, say hde5 isn't labelled. So, you give it a labelled (in my case /windows/K), go to next/save and then exit. Eitherway, the idea is to simply give the unlabelled partition a label/name and then save it - NOTHING MORE (no formating, or anything else - just name it) and when you save the changes the partitioner will write it to fstab and then it will be recognized when in Linux and mountable. If your not sure, or something doesnt look right, simply back out and you may want to go to the manual route.
