Where's Windows?

I still need to mount it to /windows.

In order to do that try either my earlier post or darkelve's earlier post. Both should get that mounted for you. If you have any troubles let us know.

Do the following:

Create a directory for a mount point. You can give it any name you want. Since I have more than 1 Windows partition I used "/Windows/C" and "Windows/D" .... (In a console session /> md /Windows/C <enter>)

Edit /etc/fstab and add a line that looks like this:

for NTFS
/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0

for fat32
/dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=utf8 0 0

When you restart your system the Windows partition will be mounted. The fstab is only accessable by a superuser so you will have to either use a console session and vi as root or edit the file and save to your home directory and then use a root session to copy it back to /etc. Note that ntfs partitions are mounted ro - read only. The fat32 partition is read write.

Hope this helps.

mount -t ntfs /dev/disk /mnt or if you want to mount a share over a network,
mount -t smbfs -o username=username //ip/share /mnt

I'm not very familiar with the console. so, the first thing I do is, open a console. then type /> md /Windows/C and then hit enter. then, I type Edit /etc/fstabdev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0?

Are you more comfortable with command line or in a GUI setting?

I'm not very familiar with console. but, this is what I think I'm gonna do. open console, then type /> md /Windows/C (I need to be root to do this right?). then I add an additional line (/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
) to /etc/fstab? so, in the end the line will look like this:

/etc/fstab/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0

gui, by far!

Ok, in the GUI, navigate to /. Once there, right click and go to New -> Folder. Name in something like Windows. If you have more than 1 windoes partition that you want to mount, go into the newly created folder and make 2 new folders called C and D. You might need to create the folders as root. If so log in quickly to make the folders and log back out and into your usual account.

Once you have the folders created, log into Yast -> System -> Partitioner. In the partitioner, go to your windows partition and click edit. Under Mount Point, point it to the folder you created (/Windows/C) then apply or OK.

This should now mount your windows partition. Let us know how it goes.

I've tried that before, and after I mount it to the directory, I go to open the directory and does'nt open. it gives me an error saying "unable to mount".
