Hello! I am new user of suse and i’ve just got to face this strange problem. I cant access my windows drive from suse. However i didn’t have any problems accessing it from ubuntu (before i trashed it and migrated to suse).
cat /etc/fstab gives me this output:
Also a request. When you post computer text here in a post (as you did already) please do so by copying/pasteing from the terminal emulator the prompt, the command, the output (of course ) and the next prompt in between CODE tags. You get the CODE tags by clicking on the # button in the toolbar above the post editor. Then there is no need to tell the story of “cat /etc/fstab gives me this output:” because tthe command is there to be seen by all. And these CODE tags will also preserve the original lay-out of the output.
Then, because most of us have no crystal balls, we like you to mention what you have there. Which version of openSUSE? When you use a desktoop, please, which one.
As you may have allready seen, there is no entry in fstab for any other partitions then your swap and root prtition. Thus nothing more is used/mounted at boot then those two. It is a biy stragne because when you have a Windows installation also on the disk (as you say) then during installation, the installer normaly offers to add them. But we can llawys vure that. For that we need to know what the partitions you want mount are. Please post the output of
su -c 'fdisk -l'
and when you know what the partitions there are probably used for, tell us.
I think the easiest for you is to start YaST > System > Partitioining (and click Yes on the warning). Right-click on sda1 in the list at right and choose Edit (or what it is called in your language).
There check (and recheck!) that it is on NOT formatting!
At the right choose a mount-point (when you do not know for a better place, /mnt/A is a good default and finish this.
When everyting is OK, it is now mounted and will also be in your fstab.
When you are in doubt what to do, please ask first here before you make severe mistakes.
PS, it is easily possible to show output like the fdisk -l listing in English for showing on the forums (but we did understand the above ), by doing
Don’t know if it’s still like that, but in the past windows partitions used to be mounted on /windows/C, /windows/D and so on. I’ve always liked this, because the mountpoint tells what windu “driveletter” is being accessed by entering the directory.
It was like that. I don’t see too many openSUSE/windu machines, but I haven’t seen any 12.2 installs where windu partitions were assigned mountpoints in /windows.
