HI,
I’m currently using SUSE SLES 11SP2 x86_64 Patch 2. I’m having issues in mounting my NTFS drives.I can’t seem to mount my NTFS drives on my SUSE, I can see them under **/windows/ **directory listed as *C D E F G… & O *respectively (so my assumptions are they are mounted) BUT when I explore those drives I can’t view its contents… it’s appears completely blank,I tried searching the internet but didn’t get any solution to this… is it a SUSE sles 11 sp2 limitation or am I not doing it correctly?
I don’t know how to fix this so I can browse the files on my NTFS drives. here’s what I have tried doing so far…
I did edit the /etc/fstab file after I read some article over here: SDB:NTFS - openSUSE
here’s my fstab file

I tried sharing the drives in windows 8 via the disk properties tab settings

I tried to mnt it via running the following cmds:
fdisk -l
Gave output:

After getting the listed drives info I
mount -t ntfs-3g -o noatime /dev/sda8 /mnt/ntfs/
got error as;
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-3g'
then I did:
mount -t fuse -o noatime /dev/sdd5 /mnt/ntfs/
Got error as:
/bin/sh: /dev/sdd5: Permission denied
So I did CHOWN as
chown simon /windows
but still I was not able to mount the NTFS drives… or view its contents…
additional info:
I have installed SUSE on 2nd primary partition & is set to active, (1st primary partition is windows 8 enterprise)
Ran cmds as SU
