mount windows partition

[Christoph Georgi]

Create a folder "windows" in your home directory. Then mount the windows 
partition as follows:

sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/<windows hard drive> /home/<user>/windows -o 
umask=0222

Example:
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 home/chg/windows -o umask=0222

that should mount your windwos hard drive into the folder ~/windows. If 
you want to have the partition mounted at startup edit the fstab:

sudo vim /etc/fstab

simply add the line:
/dev/<hard drive>       /home/<user>/windows        ntfs    umask=0222 
      0       0

you can also mount the partition to /windows as SuSE does it by creating 
the folder /windows. The fstab should look like that:
/dev/<hard drive>	/windows	ntfs	umask=0222	0      0

Example:
/dev/hda1	/windows	ntfs	umask=0222 	0	0

hope that helps
