Hi, I'm trying to install Suse 9.1 on my computer. on which Windows XP was already installed. I'm facing this tricky situation. I've 120GB hard disk, and I've made 3 partitions.
1st partition i've installed windows XP os. I want the second partition to be accessible by both windows and linux OS.
I can see the second partition from windows OS, and i've full read-write permissions to that drive.
When i tried to install SuSE 9.1, Suse recognised both the windows drives, and mounted them automatically.
/dev/sda4 is mounted as /windows/C (read only mount) /dev/sda5 is mounted as /windows/D (read only mount).
The problem with this is I cannot write any thing to d drive from linux.
So i re installed linux and this time un checked the option Mount Read only, which says i should be able to write to the drive from linux. But by doing so, i could not see D drive altogether.
What filesystem are you using for the second partition ? I suspect that you have NTFS; you won't be able to write to NTFS from Linux. You'll need FAT32 instead to be able to read/write from both Windows and Linux. -- Jan Elders the Netherlands http://www.xs4all.nl/~jrme/ "Home of the Network Acronyms"
