Hello all, I have now copied all of my data off of the NTFS drive I attached post SuSE 9.0 installation. Now I have a drive that I can do whatever I want with. I already have two drives in the machine. One drive is (hda1 '/home') and the other is split (hdb1 'swap' and hdb2 '/'). I was thinking of formatting this 'newly available' drive and trying to use it to make the machine run a little faster or be more productive, or just have the drive serve as a common point for accessing media files or dropping junk into it as to not clutter up my /home directory. I am not sure exactly what I should do or how I go about doing it so if anyone has any suggestions or ideas, I am all ears. Thanks to everyone that gave advice on mounting the drive when I needed it. Though, I was never able to mount it as a user, I did learn a little more about the system, and I was able to recover all the files from it. -=Thinker
