So I am now successfully triple booting:

XP PRO - Needed for School
Vista Ultimate - Umm, yeah
SuSE 10.2 - Linux baby!

So anyway, why don't my 2 windows NTFS partitions show up?

check it:

SERVICEV001 -> ../../HDA2
Shared -> ../../hda6
Vista -> ../../hda5
XP_PRO ../../hda1

That is the output of:

ls /dev/disk/by-label

they are links of course.

There is nothing in the /mnt folder. /Volumes does not exist.

So how do I configure SuSE to let me view my windows partitions. At the very least I am going to need access to the shared partition /hda6

Thanks in advance.

Do they show up mounted somewhere else via "df" ??

Anyway .. the easy way to get them mounted is to start Yast, select "System", then "Partitioner". Then "Yes" to the warning. You will now see the HPFS/NTFS partitions (your "SERVICE" partition is probably FAT).

Highlight the one you want mounted, then click on "Edit". Type in some /Path in the mount point box. Click on Fstab Options for additional options (warning: my understanding is that writes to NTFS from linux is still under test so leave it as "Mount read-only").

Apply to Yast and you will have a new mount point!

Got it fixed. Just edited the fstab file:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/XP ntfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/Vista defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 /mnt/Share fat32 defaults 0 0

mount -a

much easier than click, confirm, click, confirm.

Thanks for the help anyways.
