Thanks for the advice. I had a good look at 'Linux in a Nutshell' last
night, particularly the section on booting.
So I now have the choice of booting into windows but why can'y I view my
windows files?
When I go into partitioning under Yast I can see the Fat32 partition but
not when I look for it in my directories, even under mnt.
