My dual-installs of SuSE have all ended up with the Windows partition mounted somewhere in the linux directory tree. I think /windows/C but I'm not positive.
In any case, `mount` should show you if there's an NTFS or FAT partition mounted under /windows when you're booted into SuSE.
If not, take a look at fdisk -- `man fdisk` will give you usage info. That'll let you get a listing of the partitions on the drive.
Once you've got the Windows partition (/dev/hda#, most likely) you can use mkreiserfs to format the partition, mount it as /data (`mount -t reiser /dev/hda# /data`) and then fix the fstab file... BTW: Partition Magic 7 will not resize ReiserFS. I suggest that you boot a standalone Linux and use something like QTParted. On a few occasions I successfully resized Windows XP NTFS partitions.
You can use YaST to resize the Windows partition as long as it is unmounted. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
