[opensuse] mounting my ntfs drive dual boot system
Hi all, I am trying to figure out how to mount my windows partition so that I can read data. In the YaST partitioner, here is the data that my computer shows: Device Size F Type FS Type Label Mount Point Mount By Start End Used By /dev/sda 232.89 GB ST9250827AS 0 30400 /dev/sda1 34.18 GB HPFS/NTFS NTFS 0 4461 /dev/sda2 156.25 GB HPFS/NTFS NTFS DATA 4462 24858 /dev/sda3 42.45 GB Extended 24859 30400 /dev/sda5 2.01 GB Linux swap Swap swap ID 24859 25120 /dev/sda6 16.33 GB Linux native Ext3 / ID 25121 27252 /dev/sda7 24.11 GB Linux native Ext3 /home ID 27253 30400 (Is there a way to get this information from the terminal? I had to manually re-type that whole table instead of cut and paste from a terminal window.) Then in Konqueror when I try to click on the DATA label, nothing happens. I cannot read any of the data. I went into a terminal window and typed "mount" without any other parameters (and not on root permission because I don't really understand what "mount" does and I don't want to mess anything up). Here is the result: george@linux-kwqm:~> mount /dev/sda6 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) /proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/sda7 on /home type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) /dev/sr0 on /media/SU1110.001 type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=1000,utf8) gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/george/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=george) george@linux-kwqm:~> Here are the things that I DO understand from the above information. - sda3 is a description of the extended partition, which contains sda5, sda6, and sda7 - the mount command did not give me any information about sda1 or sda2. So if anyone can help me figure out how to get the drive sda2, or DATA mounted so that I can read data, then that will be great. I want to ultimately also write data, as I was able to do before when I had this drive on my other computer, but for now I will just get to where I can try and read the data.

Please give us the details of your /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab files. Can't you browse these partitions from /windows -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Here is /etc/fstab: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST9250827AS_5RG0CMC3-part5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST9250827AS_5RG0CMC3-part6 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST9250827AS_5RG0CMC3-part7 /home ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 Here is /etc/mtab: /dev/sda6 / ext3 rw,acl,user_xattr 0 0 /proc /proc proc rw 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs rw 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 /dev/sda7 /home ext3 rw,acl,user_xattr 0 0 fusectl /sys/fs/fuse/connections fusectl rw 0 0 securityfs /sys/kernel/security securityfs rw 0 0 none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0 /dev/sr0 /media/SU1110.001 iso9660 ro,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=1000,utf8 0 0 gvfs-fuse-daemon /home/george/.gvfs fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon rw,nosuid,nodev,user=george 0 0 The wierd thing is, I cannot seem to find any partition labeled /windows. When I had this drive on my old computer, it was labeled /windows and I was able to browse the partition(using konqueror and clicking on "my computer") in that way. But now I never see the label /windows, so I cannot seem to browse it. I don't know why that is. thanks george -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Several. Start Yast in thext mode in a console. Or use a program like fdisk.
Then in Konqueror when I try to click on the DATA label, nothing happens. I cannot read any of the data.

Here are the things that I DO understand from the above information. - sda3 is a description of the extended partition, which contains sda5, sda6, and sda7
Yes.
- the mount command did not give me any information about sda1 or sda2.
Because they are not mounted. Mount them. You probably need to add entries in fstab for them. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
