I have a dual boot system. I replaced Windows 98 with 2000. To my surprise grub remained intact and I can boot into 2000. But in suse 9.1, I can't mount /windows/c. It looks properly set up in /etc/fstab, but it complains it cant open /etc/mtab for writing; permission denied. What do I need to change to mount the windows drive?

I thought you couldn't normally write to Windows ntfs. (I know there are a couple of programs that claim to, but they're not a standard part of SuSE 9.1.) I have XP(ntfs) on a drive and I can read it, but not write to it. AAMOF, it shows up in "This Computer". Comment? --doug
As far as I know, you're right. NTFS is read-only. FAT is read-write. However, the symptom reported by the OP was that when he invoked the "mount" command it was unable to write to the (Linux) /etc/mtab file, which is used to maintain a record of the currently mounted file systems. Randal Schulz
