Hi Rahul!

I will tell you how to use the command line to do some of this (i.e. which
commands to enter in a terminal window). Depending on what window
manager etc. you use (GNOME, KDE, Xfce, ...) there might be point + click
ways to do the same, but you'd need to tell us which window manager you
are using.

Simply typing

mount

in your terminal will show you which drives are mounted (i.e. available) to
you right now. For me, this command returns this:

/dev/sda7 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/sda5 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda8 on /home type ext3 (rw)

/dev/sda is "scsi disk a", the numbers 7, 5, and 8 are partitions of this
hard disk. You can see the different points in the file system where they
are placed (the information after "on").

If you're lucky, your windows disk will show up, (i.e. your linux distribution
recognized the windows partition and mounted it somewhere). If I recall
correctly, SuSE places windows drives in /windows/c (for the C: drive) etc.


If this fails, we need to figure out which drive and/or partition your windows
data is on. If it was, say, /dev/sdb1 you could add this to your filesystem
using the mount command:

mount /dev/sdb1 /windows/c

You might have to create the /windows and /windows/c directories.

To figure out which drive / partition contains windows, you can use the
"fdisk" command. I'm running out of time, so I'll leave this to you. You
can always use "man fdisk" to get more info on this.

Good luck! kai
