I have windows on the first hard drive and suse 10.0 on a second hard drive. I went to mount /dev/hda1, which is windows to get some files from it but it said that it couldn't find a fstab entry for the drive. I know that I can boot into this drive. what would be the correct entry that I would have to add to fstab? TIA Walt

Something like /dev/hda1 /windows vfat user 0 0 I think you must make sure that /windows exists -- donno whether it will create it automatically. -- Penguin #395953 resides at http://samvit.org subsisting on SUSE Linux 10.0 with KDE 3.5

It depends on what filesystem type does Windows use FAT32 or NTFS. If it is FAT then right entry might look like: /dev/hda1 /windows vfat ro,user,noauto 0 0 For NTFS: /dev/hda1 /windows ntfs ro,user,noauto,uid=<your login>,gid=<your group> 0 0 gid=<> and uid=<> are needed to enable you to access windows' files as user (otherwise only as root).

My system is 10.0 and this the entry from my fstab for my windows partition /dev/hda1 /mnt/ME vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /mnt/ME is the actual mount point.

Whether you need an fstab entry depends on the way you use the mount command. mount <mntpoint> such as mount windrive would require an fstab entry to tell the system what partition the 'windrive' is on. What you should have done is: mount /dev/hda1 <mountpoint> which (usually) provides all the info that the system needs. Occasionally you'll run into a situation where you need to tell it the type of file system on the partition, such as: mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 <mountpoint>
