I have Linux (suse) and Windows (XP) on my system, but my windows files don't appear in the windows directory of linux. I can't see them. What can I do?
Thanks

Have you mounted them ? – Sathyajith Bhat – 2010-01-16T10:35:19.810

Are the Windows Partitions mounted ? Head over to YaST -> Software -> Partitioner. They should look something like this:

Partitioner 1

Partitioner 2


To make it writable, Click on fstab options and ad an entry umask=000 as shown in the pic

fstab options

Dear Sathya, Thanks alot for your attention. I checked it and also I change it's "Fstab Options" to "Mount Read Only" (I saw none of them have been marked) and then my files appeared. Now I can read them, But I can't write in the windows directory on linux. Are there any option among them that give me full permission for write and read. Regards – aryan – 2010-01-16T11:11:05.853

@aryan Uncheck the mount readonly - Just browse to the directory it should get mounted. Your fstab options page should look similar to the pic. Don't forget to add the umask=000 entry – Sathyajith Bhat – 2010-01-16T12:45:14.380

@Sathya It doesn't work. I faced an error. error code was: -3003 – aryan – 2010-01-16T13:07:12.233
