Hello, everyone. Silviu, do your commands below mount the NTFS partition as read-only ? Last I heard, writing to NTFS partitions is "A VERY BAD THING", and can potentially mess up the whole partition. Don't we need an 'ro' in the commands somewhere ? I'm not somewhere where I can check the docs to find out where, but maybe someone else can clarify. Bye for now, Stuart. partition
from windows. I've tried to mounting the ntfs partition, but failed. I've heard that another new released distro - like mandrake 9.0 - could read ntfs partition.
Please, give me step by step information, because I'm still newbie on linux
Cross-posting is bad netiquette. The fast way: su - ** input root password fdisk -l ** identify what partition is windows/ntfs; will call it /dev/hdaX mount -t ntfs /dev/hdaX /mnt ls /mnt The elegant way: mkdir /mnt/ntfs add to /etc/fstab /dev/hdaX /mnt/ntfs ntfs noauto,user,mode=0777 0 0 I'm not sure that mode=0777 will be exactly what you want, but try it. -- Silviu Marin-Caea Systems Engineer Linux/Unix http://www.genesys.ro Phone +40723-267961 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
