I have SUSE 10.1 and after i intalled it i plugged in a new sata hard drive

 

now when i go to system:/media i can see the new drive, only it does not have a green arrow next to it like the others do

 

when i mouse over it it says it's an unmounted hard drive

 

yet when i try to mount it i get the error Permissing Denied

 

how can i mount the new hard drive so i can see it in SUSE?

 

thanks

Hi,

 

What you will need to do is become root and change into the media directory. To do this follow these steps:

 



Code:
su -




 

Once you have issued that enter your root password then type:

 



Code:
cd /media




 

The what you want to do is mount the drive:

 



Code:
mount drivename




 

then you can change into your drvie:

 



Code:
cd drivename




 

To make it so the users can access the mount point you will need to edit your /etc/fstab file and set a umask along with

auto mount. Would it be possible for you to paste your /etc/fstab file

sda1 is your windows parition. Notice on the /windows/C line I added auto this will auto mount this partition for you when you

reboot and will always be mounted at boot. anyways as root if you have'nt rebooted you can type:

 



Code:
mount -a




 

Which means mount all and the you should be able to navigate to /windows/C where all you windows files will be.
