who owns the drive? who are you signed in as when trying to access the drive? at some point drive permissions must have been changed, maybe have been changed to root only read? the default is set to let everyone read and see the drive. this would explain why only yast sees it, you have to sign in as root to use yast. why dont you change the drive back to let everyone read it? sign in as root, open konqueror, find the drive, right click, choose properties, its obvious how to change from there. good luck. only idea I have. -- 4:40pm up 7 days 4:48, 3 users, load average: 0.46, 0.55, 0.62 powered by OpenSuse 10.2 - registered Linux user 412217 http://norwichlinuxusersgroup.com ------------------------------------------------------- -- 4:50pm up 7 days 4:58, 3 users, load average: 0.21, 0.34, 0.50 powered by OpenSuse 10.2 - registered Linux user 412217 http://norwichlinuxusersgroup.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
