I updated from 11.2 to 11.3 on my dual boot system and I cannot get to the Windows side. This has happened before and I know that I must change a file but I do not remember which file. Can someone help me???
Post the output of
fdisk -l
You can edit the /etc/fstab file as root or you can set it in Yast-Partition Manager But lets see the fdisk out put first so we know hat the partitioning looks like and can advise on exactly what you need to change.
By not gettingo to the Windows side - do you mean you’re not able to see the windows partition files on linux or not able to boot into Windows ?
I believe it is the latter… If so could you post the error message you get while booting from GRUB ?
Here is the output of fdisk -l

I get no error message - I go directly to linux.
You need to choose Windows option from the GRUB menu to boot into Windows… Do you have such an option in your GRUB menu ?
I did not - but I do now. I just needed to know where to look. Thanks to you all!!!
