    Mounting NTFS partitions

    I just installed my SuSE 10.2. Everything works perfectly fine, but I cannot mount my partitions. Can you please guide me through this process? I tried with /dev/hd* but it says "Permission denied".

    Then i typed 'su -' and entered my password. Then again /dev/hd* and nothing seems to happen. Please help.

    Thank you.

    man mount
    will give you the man page for mount where you can find a guide to the neccesary syntax.

    What happens if I set the mount point in Partitioner of those partitions in /home?

    create a mount_point (folder) and mount partition.
    Code:
    mount -t <filesystem> /dev/<partition>  <mount_point>
    in case you coudn'y mount partition, post the output of fdisk -l command.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    I read that u want to mount ntfs file system...
    It can't do it automatically. U should install ntfs-3g and fuse to support ntfs file system...

    ntfs-3g doesn't mount partitions automatically. it enables 'write' access in NTFS partitions only. you have to mount partitions manually.
