Hello linuxer,
My system right now is dual booting, winXP and suse8.0. The winXP use NTFS partition. How can I set suse8.0, so it can read the ntfs partition from windows. I've tried to mounting the ntfs partition, but failed. I've heard that another new released distro - like mandrake 9.0 - could read ntfs partition.
Please, give me step by step information, because I'm still newbie on linux
Cross-posting is bad netiquette. The fast way: su - ** input root password fdisk -l ** identify what partition is windows/ntfs; will call it /dev/hdaX mount -t ntfs /dev/hdaX /mnt ls /mnt The elegant way: mkdir /mnt/ntfs add to /etc/fstab /dev/hdaX /mnt/ntfs ntfs noauto,user,mode=0777 0 0 I'm not sure that mode=0777 will be exactly what you want, but try it. -- Silviu Marin-Caea Systems Engineer Linux/Unix http://www.genesys.ro Phone +40723-267961
