thanks, that has sort of solved it. df is still only showing mounted drives, which i guess is fine because the other ones are ntfs. main thing is i can get to the fat32 partition.

Hi, I have a few things to do on my SuSE install. First thing I need help with is finding my drives again. I have 2 drives in the machine so expect to be seeing hda and hdb. All I have right now are the linux partitions. Previously when running mandrake I would see 7 partitions, the 3 below, and another on hdb (ntfs?) and 3 on hda (2 are ntfs, another is fat32). What I am trying to do is mount the fat32 partition so I can get to my email store and other files.


# fdisk -l


...or...

$ cat /proc/partitions

...alternatively...

$ dmesg | grep 'hd[a-z]: hd'

once you know what and where the data is, then modify /etc/fstab so they get automounted on boot. I recommend only mounting ntfs filesystems readonly! Fat32's no bother for read/write.
