and that about did it.
but when i try it this time (after a fresh opensuse install) it still says permission denied. and when i go look for the folder with konqueror, the folder’s got a lock icon on it.
how do i do this? i really need to backup my data (windows crash-AGAIN)
ok im guessing theres probably something wrong because i didnt cleanly unmount my windows partition (as i said, it crashed)
but i cant get it to boot so i can cleanly unmount! (gives bluescreen and people say "just run recovery and do CHKDSK /P and FIXBOOT but all those command say is that the volume is unrecoverable, however i used to be able to just use linux to get into windows when it used to crash)
You should be able to mount it using Yast’s partitioner. Or add a mountpoint to /etc/fstab looking like this:
/dev/disk/by-id/THE_DISK_ID_ON_YOUR_MACHINE /windows/C ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
Then again, the Windows install might be seriously damaged. If not, mounting it like this should let you copy the data you need off of it.
