I have successfully installed Suse 11.1 on my machine. I have installed it alongside windows, and the Dual boot also is working fine.
Once i logged into Suse, I could see my computer on the desktop, and when i click on the icon, it shows my system configuration, memory an stuff...., along with all this it also shows the windows Ntfs Partition Labels. When i click a partition it nothing happens, the contents are not shown... When i tried opening it through the file manager, it shows some error.
I have three HDD drives, first one is a 160 GB SATA, second an 80 GB SATA, and third is an OLD PATA 40 GB.
Aftr the second reboot the system is directy booting into windows. I am unable to login to Suse.
