    problem in mounting windows drives

    folks i have a dual boot i-e XP and opensuse 10.2

    There are three windows partitions i-e C, D, E

    When i installed opensuse, i went to YAST and then Partitioner, there i selected C and clicked edit and mounted that in /windows/C [plz note that file system was NTFS ]

    when i checked /windows/C, It worked!

    the i selected D and clicked edit and mounted that in /windows/D [plz note that file system was FAT32]

    It worked!

    Lastly
    i selected E and clicked edit and mounted that in /windows/E (file system was FAT32)

    But when i checked /windows/E, it wasy empty..

    i dont know that why it showing this empty.. In past, i did the same to mount my windows partitions on Linux..

    i also tried to use mount

    mount /dev/sda5 /mnt with sda5 being that partition but still empty..

    One difference i note is that when i open YAST->Partioner and see all partitions, FAT32 is written Infront of my normal windows partitions whereas FAT32LBA is written against this partition which when i mount shows no data...


    Can any one tell why.. that data is imp for me to access here....

    Execute this
    Code:
    su -
    fdisk -l
    df -h
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
