Hi, Suse 9.1 installed (new) kernel 2.6.4-54.5-default now installed after YOU on saturday. Now I found that I could not reach my win-xp on NTFS..found not in fstab..added with ro as usually. mount -a Surprise..mount: fs type NTFS not supported by kernel. When installing the 2nd drive with xp was there..but seem not to be detected. suse 9.0 had no problem. Please is there a way to fix this? Thanks -- Johan Sch Registered Linux User #330034 May this be a good day for learning

Thanks for your reply..will be looking into the references. Regards -- Johan Registered Linux User #330034 May this be a good day for learning
The standard install of 9.1 gave me a window called "My Computer"--instantly renamed to "This Computer"-- on which my Windows drive (a separate h/d) appears, and I can get a menu of everything on the drive in GUI format, just like Windows. I sure wish I could get that same output in Linux! But you can't put the Linux drive in "My Computer" and you can only get your user directory from the GUI. Phooey! --doug On Monday 31 May 2004 08:22, Jerry Feldman wrote:

Maybe I misunderstand, but the GUI is Konqueror. If I want the main drive I just type file:/ in the address line, or click my home drive, and click the up arrow until I am at the root. Greg Engel
Press F9, to get the explorer part of Konqueror, there click on the left-sided tab for root (red folder) you now got the equivalent of explorer.... Jerry P.S. The conqueror can do so so so much more, once you learn it, you'll love it... On Tue, 2004-06-01 at 14:06, Greg Engel wrote:

Thanx, Greg. that seems to work. For a GUI O/S, there are a lot of things that are certainly not obvious to the casual user. --doug On Tuesday 01 June 2004 08:06, Greg Engel wrote:

The ntfs module is there. Did you try "modprobe ntfs" before attempting the mount?

That's good. No output means no errors
Suse:~ # modprobe ntfs Suse:~ # Thanks..HTH..any hints please?
After the modprobe, doesn't it work to mount the ntfs partition?
