Hi, I'd like to add a icon "Windows_C" - which is the other partition and allows me to manage my C hard drive - on the desktop in SuSE 8.0. How can I do that...? When I installed SuSE first time, it was added automatically, but not this time... Thanks for your help, _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

Right click on the desktop and select Create New->Harddisk In the popup you get you can click on the icon to select one you like, then you select on the "Device" tab your windows partition from the dropdown list. regards Anders

The original poster didn't mention *which* Windows version lives on the other partition... If it's a FAT partition, then the above is safe to do. If it's an NTFS partition, I understand that he should avoid writing to it from Linux. In the latter case, he should make a small VFAT partition to be used as an intermediary for writing files from Linux to Windows. /kevin -- ** DIR-ty DEEDS, and they're DONE dirt cheap.

In a default SuSE installation, CONFIG_NTFS_RW isn't set, so you'd have to recompile the kernel (or at least that module) to be able to write to it.

Yep, good suggestion. //Anders
A very easy way is to drag the icon to the desktop and click "link". HTH Henry On Thursday 26 September 2002 01:15, Chun Ki Shin wrote:
