Probably the wrong forum… search for ‘ntfs3g’ or ‘ntfs 3g’ in the
applications forum and you’re likely to find a lot of what you need.
Search in here too in case it’s been posted about before but either way
this will likely get you where you need to go assuming you are using
NTFS for XP, and assuming you’re on opensuse with a semi-recent version.
All of these details would help. What do you get error-wise when you
try to do something that doesn’t work?
Good luck.

this is the message i get.
The document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write to /windows/D/Documents and Settings/Julio/My Documents/1.
Check that you have write access to this file or that enough disk space is available.

Read http://en.opensuse.org/NTFS
Kind regard,

Post the output from the mount command and it will show the options
used to mount one of your partitions to /windows/D and this will likely
show us either the wrong filesystem type (ntfs3g is the one we want I
think… see Andreas’ post about http://www.opensuse.org/NTFS/ ) and
will also show us any option used to do the mount (‘ro’ for read-only,
for example).
Good luck.

i read something about a fstab file. here it is.
i want to be able to save files to the D drive.

The partition is likely an NTFS partition. If it is, the default settings are read-only – i.e. no write permissions. You have to adjust that. GoTo Yast → partitioner. Locate the NTFS partition in the panel on the right, highlight it and click edit. Under “Fstab options” you will see “Arbitrary options” or similar. They will be something like this:
users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=en_US.UTF-8
Change them to this:
locale=en_US.UTF-8
Then it should be writeable to everyone.

Edit: didn’t see your post – but now I’ve see it – proceed for the D drive as I said.
i did exactly as you said. and it gave me this error message.
Failure occurred during the following action:
updating entery for mount point /windows/D in /etc/fstab
System error code was: -3039
Probably requires to do the operation after the partition is unmounted. It might have worked anyway so check the permissions – in a console window issue this command
ls -l /windows/D
and see whether you get permissions on directories similar to this (from mine):
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 2008-06-19 06:33 Documents and Settings
If you don’t get them like that then open a console window and run this command to unmount the partition:
sudo umount /windows/D
then go to Yast and perform the changes.
haha yes !! thank you so much !! it works !!
lol!
