[opensuse] upgrade opensuse from 10.3 to?
I am not very familiar with instructions, just a little bit, what would be the next best safe upgrade for me? I have windows and opensuse on the same drive., windows has been corrupted and I /need to pull some important files from it./ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The best bet for you would be a new hard drive. Seriously, these things are cheap. Go treat yourself for Xmas, and if you have no room in your machine to keep the old drive, buy one of those cheap USB enclosures for the old drive so you can pull stuff off the old distro and the old Windows. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You should be able to read the Windows partition from OpenSUSE. Just find your "My Documents" folder and copy it to another partition or drive. BTW, on my ThinkPad, I have "My Documents" in it's own FAT32 partition which I can also read & write with Linux. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Just make sure it is a FAT variant partition, not NTFS - Linux reads it fine but sometimes has trouble writing to it. At least such has been my experience. Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
