Re: [SLE] newbie qn on accessing files on windows partition

Hi I'm having probs. with this pl. help
You have to be root to do this. First check if the windows partition is registered in the file /etc/fstab, at the consol ($) you can do this (I always use emacs to edit files, you might prefer another one like pico or vi):
$>emacs /etc/fstab
Look for a line similar to this:
/dev/hda1 /windows vfat noauto,user 0 0
The line was'nt there I've added it exactly as mentioned. next i did mkdir /windows I then made mount point directory in root as follows: amit: # ~ mount /dev/hda1/windows got message mount: fs type noauto,user not supported by kernel.

Right, you need to change that line: o change the /dev/hda1 to /dev/hdb1 o change the noauto to auto (not necessary, but probably best for you) You might also want to make the spacing more like that which is already in the file.
next i did mkdir /windows
Good.
I then made mount point directory in root as follows:
amit: # ~ mount /dev/hda1/windows
OK, to mount the directory all you have to do is type: mount /windows
got message
mount: fs type noauto,user not supported by kernel.
