I've just installed SuSE 8.1 on my hard drive which had Windows 2000 on an NTFS partition. The partition was detected just fine and Grub was configured without a hitch. The only problem is that the Windows partition is read-only. In the past, (w/SuSE 8.0 and earlier) I'd had Win2000 on a Vfat partition...this worked great as I was able to read, write and save files on c:/ from my Linux partition. Any suggestions? Then I try to enable the write permission for c:/ drive, (when logged in as root) I get a "this drive is read only" error message. I've tried several fstab configurations, but have made no progress. YAST wrote the following line for c:/ when I installed 8.1... /dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=iso8859-1 0 0 Which I've changed to... /dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs noauto,user,exec 0 0 ...initially this was set as a read-only partition as indicated in the first Fstab statement...does something else need to be changed aside from the fstab to allow writing to this partition from linux? Thanks in advance for all advice and clarity rendered
