I installed Windows ME after installing Linux, so SuSE dosen't automatically detect and mount my Windows/FAT32 partition. How do I tell SuSE Linux that a FAT partition exists and that I would like it to be mounted on the desktop every time i start up Linux?
Spell it out please...
As root, edit /etc/fstab and add: /dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=iso8859-1,code=437 0 0 note: /dev/hdxx or if scsi, /dev/sdxx, the xx must correspond to the disk containing "C:/" drive or the "D:/" drive (change to /windows/D). the command: sudo /sbin/fdisk -l will give you a list of the proper device names and indicate the FAT32 partitions, (from my system) ie: Disk /dev/hda: 100.0 GB, 100030242816 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12161 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 1024 8225248+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda2 * 1025 12161 89457952+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 1025 1599 4618656 b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda6 1600 1730 1052226 82 Linux swap /dev/hda7 1731 3036 10490413+ 83 Linux /..... Check your system with the fdisk command and post your results and what you add to /etc/fstab for approval <grin>... gud luk, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711
