Access to Win9X Files?

[gene ohara]

Was able to install SuSE8.1 on my WinME HardDrive. Am using GRUB and both OSes boot OK.

So far am unable to access my FAT32 partitions from Linux. Read both SuSE manuals but could not find any mention of how to do this. Also checked the Internet and found a question similar to this ~ 4 years ago but not answered. Is this possible and if so how?

Thanks

You simply need to 'mount' the drives. Normally SuSE would do this for you. Could you post the results of the command cat /etc/fstab.

Otherwise you will need to:

1. Create a 'mount point' (mkdir /mnt/windows)

then:

2a. Mount the drive mount -t vfat /dev/hdxx /mnt/windows where xx is the partition location (ie hda1 for the first partition on the primary master drive)

and/or:

2b. Add the appropriate line to your /etc/fstab to have the partition mounted at boot-time.

Thanks for the info!

Would guess that I did not make the correct choice when installed SuSE8.1

Will check what you want and then post.
