You say you did:
amit: # ~ mount /dev/hda1/windows
If this is really what you wrote then it is wrong; there's supposed to be a space between /dev/hda1 and /windows. If it was just in this mail you missed the space, then obviously there is something wrong in your configuration, I have been doing this in SuSE 6.3, 6.4, 7.0 and lots of other Linux distributions so I know that it works...:o) Ok, you got Win 95 or 98? on /dev/hda1 Is SuSE on the same harddisk? The mountpoint /windows is in 'the' root: '/' not '/root', right? The line in /etc/fstab should work, but another possibility is to try: /dev/hda1 /windows auto default,noauto,user 0 0 If that doesn't work: /dev/hda1 /windows auto default 0 0 If none of this works then you have to give a more detailed description of your harddisk and what kind of Windows you got and what filesystem you run it on. Good luck, HÖ

Hi
I'm having probs. with this pl. help
You have to be root to do this. First check if the windows partition is registered in the file /etc/fstab, at the consol ($) you can do this (I always use emacs to edit files, you might prefer another one like pico or vi):
$>emacs /etc/fstab
Look for a line similar to this:
/dev/hda1 /windows vfat noauto,user 0 0
The line was'nt there I've added it exactly as mentioned.
next i did mkdir /windows
I then made mount point directory in root as follows:
amit: # ~ mount /dev/hda1/windows
got message
mount: fs type noauto,user not supported by kernel.
