I wait , thank you.

Can you - have you, read write access in opensuse?

If not try changing your fstab to this

It kind of sounded like you could read it in suse and not in windows?!

Ye,i can read the files in opensuse
i windows,if i enter in my computer,i see D:\ partition and when i try to enter its says
“D:\ is not accessible - The request is not supported”

As you can see

Suse is seeing this as
/dev/sda2 5160 30402 202750976 7 HPFS/NTFS

NTFS is a windows file system.

I suggest you run chkdsk in windows.

Did you look in the windows disk management section to see what info it has in there.

I have try it
But properties>Tools>Error-cheking > Says “the disk check could not be performed because windows cnnot access the disk”

And using CMD i cant see the D:\ partition

OOOHH :smiley:

Hi friend, thank for your help…
I was googling for CMD/chkdsk stuffs and find the command “Chkdsk d: -f” and it’s work =]

See ya!

Use a utility disk like Parted Magic
Welcome to the Frontpage

To check the partition
