Where's Windows?

I installed Suse 8 on a seperate drive than my windows. Which directory is my windows stuff on? I'm on NTFS.

The install normally find it and mounts it in /windows/C.

This will only be read-only if it is NTFS though.

It usually mounts if windows is on the same drive and on a seperate partition. usually there is an icon on the desktop. but I got suse and win on 2 seperate drives.

Try going to Yast -> System -> Partitioner. In there select the windows drive, and go to edit. Create a mount point, click ok and then apply. That should work.

I tried that yesterday, but it didn't work. I don't think I am specifying the correct mount point. what directory am I supposed to mount it to. I tried to mount it to /dev/hda (windows is on my primary drive). I need mad help!!!

Easiest thing to do is create a folder in / called windows. Then when you go into Yast -> System -> Partitioner go to the first hard drive and under mount point type /windows. Then close and apply. This should mount /dev/hda into the /windows folder.

For those who are not afraid of the console(command line):

If you're windows partition is a FAT-partition, you can manually mount it from a console (there's a program called konsole in KDE).

E.g. in my case, hda5 is my D: drive.

If I want to mount it, I would do (without the quotes):

"mkdir /mnt/windows_d/"
*** I name my directory windows_d myself, can be any name***
"mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /mnt/windows_d/"
*** I specify a partition, its type and tell Linux where to 'mount' it (link to it).***

Next time I want to access my Windows D: partition, I would type:
"/mnt/windows_d" either in the Konsole or in Konquerors address bar.

It usually mounts if windows is on the same drive and on a seperate partition. usually there is an icon on the desktop. but I got suse and win on 2 seperate drives.

Doesn't it do it if its on a seperate drive?
I haven't installed it for quite a while now though (well not checking what it does or with windows dual-booting) - i just assumed it did.

It usually automatically sets it up if you had both drives plugged in during install and accepted Suse partitioning. If you didn't, it would list the drives and partitions but the windows one wouldn't be given a mount point. That's what I have found in my installs.

When I installed suse, I unhooked my win drive so I wouldn't get an option to format /partition it. After the install, I hooked it beack up. when I go into kdisk I could see the drive labeled /hda (suse is on hdb).
