Partitions In Suse 10.3

I install 10.3 just now.
In installation,i make partitions in expert mode.
1 primary with swap.and 2 logical.
After installation when i tried to see my HD partitions. i just can see the root partition.
Not the logical ones.
root partition i mount as / and swap as /swap.but the logical mount i keep blank.

Any ideas.

Hi
Let's look at what you've got as the computer sees it. Open a console and enter this command:

sudo /sbin/fdisk -l

That's letter l not numeral 1

That shows youthat they're there and they look OK.
sda has a small Linux partition and a fat partition as primaries, followed by 3 logical partitions, the first two being Linux and the last is the swap. You can access all except the swap partition (which can't be mounted).

You can see your partitions and mount (for access) the ones that are not yet mounted in the Yast partitioner. GoTo Yast --> system --> partitioner and have a look.

Yeh u r right,i can see my partitions there.
But when i open My computer on desktop,its just showing filesystem not the other partitions.
I tried to put this in address to access but giving me error that this partition not exist.
/media/sda5 OR sda6.
So it mean i cant use them.

If you want sda5 and sda6 to appear in My Computer, you have to mount them. The normal way to mount ext3 partitions using a GUI is in Yast. Have you done that for sda5 and sda6?

You can check which partitions are mounted by entering this command in a console:

df -Th

If sda5 and/or sda6 aren't mounted then mount them using Yast --> system --> partitioner. For sda5 do this:

• highlight the line for sda5
• click the "Edit" button
• put this in the slot for mount point: /mnt/sda5
• click the button "fstab options"
• enter a name in "Volume Label"
• enter OK, OK, Apply

Then do similar for sda6

They will be immediately available at the addresses /mnt/sda5 and /mnt/sda6 in the filesystem
After reboot they should be available in My Computer and also at the addresses media:/sda5 and media:/sda6
They will never be available at the addresses /media/sda5 and /media/sda6
