Chances are you do not have rights to them. Can you see in them? Are
they mounted? Post the output of the following command:
mount
Also if you can see where the other partition(s) is/are mounted then
post the output of the following command:
ls -al /mountpoint
The various mountpoints will be shown in the ‘mount’ command mentioned
previously.
Anyway chances are that rights for these other partitions will be owned
entirely by ‘root’ so your regular user will not be able to modify
things in there until you give your account rights. You can test this
by temporarily becoming root, or opening a terminal or window as root,
and then seeing if you can create a file in those partitions. You
should NOT ever run as ‘root’ full time though so grant your regular
user rights (once we know that’s the issue help can be found here if not
from your favorite friend, Google) and use it from then on.
Good luck.

I’d guess that you don’t have the partition(s) mounted. Go to YAST, then System, then Partitioner. You should see all the partions.
Just edit the partion(s) you wish to
access and create a mount point for the other
partiton(s), say /myothersystem1, etc.
You should find that they are now mounted
whenever you boot.
I have this problem and i don’t know how to slove it
else i am new linux user . help me with simple way plz
If you’re new to linux it’s problem in older linux. But now the system detects partition and mounts them. Use KDE and on the menu click Computer to get the drives. If u can’t access them then you have no permission. LogIn as root (just once) and right click on the drive and go to properties, then give read-write permission to user and press ok. Then logout and login as normal user.
