It's me, again (or should I say still :-) ).

SUSE 9.1 is working great and I love exploring things, but...

I tired to mount my WinXP drive to read some docs, etc. Here's the command
I used:

mount -r -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt

It seemed to work and I can see that the drive is technically mounted when I
view it using LVM and Partitioner. It's also listed in /etc/fstab. (The
settings show as default, though, not read-only).

The problem is that I can't access it. When I try using Konqueror's file
viewer, I get the message "The folder file:/dev/hda1/mnt dows not exist".
Yet, if I open a Konsole and login as root, I can see the directories, but
I can't figure out how to get into the long-named ones.

I've even started a new session as root, but still can't access anything
with Konqueror.

How do I get Konqueror to read the Windows area so I can use the files?

TIA for your help.
