Mount an windows ntfs disk to Suse 10.1

[Suse123]

I would like to mount an windows ntfs disk to Suse 10.1 to get some files. The system recognise it and shows me that it is 40GB. But when i press mount or click it to see the files, i get the message permission denied. What can i do?

login as 'root', create a mount_point for NTFS partition.

mkdir /media/win_ntfs

open /etc/fstab file

gedit /etc/fstab

add this line

/dev/hdb1      /media/win_ntfs       ntfs   defaults,umask=0 0 0

execute mount -a command and check /media/win_ntfs folder. all users will have NTFS read access.
SuSe support NTFS read access only. install ntfs-3g package for NTFS write access.

i get the following errors:

xxxxx:~ # gedit /etc/fstab
bash: gedit: command not found
xxxxx:~ # /dev/hdb1      /media/win_ntfs       ntfs   defaults,umask=0 0 0
bash: /dev/hdb1: Permission denied

where is the wrong?

the mkdir /media/win_ntfs had no problem

[devils casper]

execute 'nano /etc/fstab' OR directly double-click on /etc/fstab file. you must be logged in as 'root'. add that code in /etc/fstab file.
for manually mounting ntfs partition through terminal, execute this

mount -t ntfs   /dev/hdb1  /media/win_ntfs

if you dont edit /etc/fstab file, you will have mount ntfs partition manually on every reboot.

Thank you very very much. I finnaly have no error with that. You are very good!!

thats ok, but you wont be able to write to NTFS partition....As casper said you should install nrfs-3g for that
