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...
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.
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 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.
In the latter case, he should make a small VFAT partition to be used as an intermediary for writing files from Linux to Windows.
Yep, good suggestion. //Anders
