I guess your partition type should be ntfs and SuSE is using the ntfs-3g driver.

Just try type umount /dev/sda2 and then ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /windows/D to see if you can write to /windows/D. Here is the list of commands: 1. Open konsole, type su, and enter the password as required 2. umount /dev/sda2 3. ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /windows/D 4. test if you can write to the partition(/windows/D) through normal account. 5. If all above is ok, type kate /etc/fstab, edit the line with /dev/sda2 and /windows/D. Change it to this "/dev/sda2 /windows/D ntfs-3g default 0 0". If you are not happy with this, you can also use yast.

Sorry for my poor English, Hope you can understand it.

/your English seems just fine :) here I tried the commands as you suggested: linux-8rby:/home/george # umount /dev/sda2 linux-8rby:/home/george # ntfs-3g /dev/sda2/windows/D ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sda2/windows/D': Not a directory Please type 'ntfs-3g --help' for more information. so I typed the help command and this is what I got: linux-8rby:/home/george # ntfs-3g --help ntfs-3g 1.5012 integrated FUSE 27 - Third Generation NTFS Driver Copyright (C) 2006-2008 Szabolcs Szakacsits Copyright (C) 2005-2007 Yura Pakhuchiy Usage: ntfs-3g [-o option[,...]] Options: ro (read-only mount), force, remove_hiberfile, locale=, uid=, gid=, umask=, fmask=, dmask=, streams_interface=. Please see the details in the manual. Example: ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/win -o force Question - did the 'umount' command do something so that I cannot read the drive anymore? I cannot seem to see it in Dolphin now... is there a way to get it back? thanks george olson / -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
