hdc6 is the issue. Thought mounted in /windows, I cannot access it, despite the permissions being set (set under Yast/system/partitoner...

/windows itself isn't accessible (it's locked). From a terminal the directory is 0 files.

In suse 10, the drives were already mounted and readable... not so in 10.2 (meh)... though probably safer.

I just want to copy some files on that hd to my /home folder.

I'm not comfortable with 10.2 yet and am having issues with the above.

Thanks.

1/2 resolved

Yast/User Management/edit user (moi) and added myself to the disk and cdrom groups... meh.

*cough*.. seems I just got 'lucky' that time... trying this again proved uneventful.

mkay then....

Mounts fine on boot (via Yast and fstab), readable with no issues.

However, when mounting via the terminal... the folder is locked (though mounted). This leads me to believe there are permission issues.

(as root)
mkdir /windows/hda7

mount -t ntfs /dev/hda7 /windows/hda7[/b]

Which is the defacto standard mount command.. no?

After 'running' 10.2 for 2 weeks now, I have to say I've seriously (well, somewhat) considered installing 10 (which I run without issue on my laptop).

Ideas?
