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) Franz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+cyVSAp2quW5I3n8RAmkUAJ9NwG5xcWSRld/QkLQrVUb12YVsJgCgi7zc hhIG6zxhaGRRqC+a00R0Bac= =MYHX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

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
