Try:
gnomesu gedit /etc/fstab

already figured it out , but the modified file still wont let me the see the files on the harddrive or copy/save any thing to it
BTW i earlier installed kubuntu (KDE) and i chose to mount the partitions during the installation. I uninstalled kubuntu and decided to install opensuse gnome. i’ll try to see if i can access the partitions in windows xp.
I’m in xp right now and i’m glad to say im not experiencing this problem.
Have a read of this tutorial:
HowTo Mount NTFS Filesystem Partition Read Write Access in openSUSE 10, 11
I’m guessing you may still have a permissions issue. To guarantee r/w access you need to make sure that the ntfs partitions concerned are clean (explained within tutorial).
If you require further help, please post your /etc/fstab contents.
Its not hard to get working.
@k3ntegra
you have a whole bunch of ntfs partitions

But the mount point is /windows/
and then the letter of each eg /windows/c
But do you actually have a folder in your tree /windows
and within that folders for each eg: c, e, f…
After booting into windows for over an hour i restarted the pc and booted back into openSuse, and now i can read access and rename the files. Thanks for the responses.
