If doubble-clicking on that hard drive in Konqueror doesn't automatically mount the hard drive (like it should), then we may have to set up a manual permanent mount point.

We can try a manual mount and see if it works, but we need more info first.

please post the ouput of the following (from a terminal (like Konsole)):

su
(enter root password, no echo)

fdisk -l

cat /etc/fstab

cat /etc/fstab

disk: invalid option -- '1'

Usage: fdisk [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK Change partition table
fdisk -l [-b SSZ] [-u] DISK List partition table(s)
fdisk -s PARTITION Give partition size(s) in blocks
fdisk -v Give fdisk version
Here DISK is something like /dev/hdb or /dev/sda
and PARTITION is something like /dev/hda7
-u: give Start and End in sector (instead of cylinder) units
-b 2048: (for certain MO disks) use 2048-byte sectors

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3320620A_9QF47G6K-part2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3320620A_9QF47G6K-part1 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
I try to click on the HD nothing happening.
I use suse11.1 32-bit it recognize it but not 64-bit.
and I hope it helps you.
I appreciate you for helping me out and we hope we can solve the problem together.

Thank you, I have enough to make a quick fix, but I want to ask one more thing first for the purpose of looking ahead.

Question: Are you or do you plan to run Microsoft Windows on this machine? If yes, you can mount as-is, however, if not, I'd suggest reformatting the drive in a Linux native format (like ext3), which makes drive maintenance easier. What is your intended use for this drive?

[waterhorse]

Well for a little more and I use winxp .Microsoft support Winxp for a few months thats it and from that I like to setup .

Open Terminal and execute this

su -
mkdir /media/sdb1

Open /etc/fstab file with root privileges and add this line at the end of file.

/dev/sdb1  /media/sdb1  ntfs-3g  defaults,umask=0  0  0

Save file and execute mount -a command or reboot machine. Check /media/sdb1 folder. You will have full access in NTFS partition.
