Hi
I have created a new backup partition for Windows XP from within Windows
on a dual-boot Suse 10.0, XP pc.
If I navigate "System Menu", "Storage Media" in KDE, I can see the new
partition already (but with no green arrow). I have to do something
extra I realise in able to access the files in this partition with Suse
10.0. I have to configure Suse 10.0 so that I can mount the partition.
How do I do that please?
If I right click on the unmounted partition in "Storage Media" and
select "Mount" on the shortcut menu I get the following error:
mount: can't find /dev/sda5 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
Have you looked in the above two files?
Solution: YaST, System, Partitioner, Yes, Select the partition, Edit,
Select a mount point (e.g. /media/DOS2), OK, Apply, Quit.
This should make your partition accesible through /media/DOS2. See that
you select a directory that is not yet used. If you have made a NTFS
partition, it is very well possible that you are unable to write to it.
Complain to the maker of NTFS about this and in the meantime use FAT32.
