(a) the output from the command

df -h

Open a konsole and type that command in, press return and use the mouse 
to copy and paste into your email message.  What I am looking to see 
here is something like your Windows partition on /dev/hda1, data on 
/dev/hda2 and your SuSE partition on /dev/hda5 with the missing Fedora 
probably unlisted but hopefully still sitting on /dev/hda3.   /dev/hda4 
will not appear for historical reasons.

(b) your /etc/fstab file.

Can you remember how you selected partitions when you installed SuSE 
10.0 at all?>
 
Hi Lesley,
Here goes:-
/boot/grub/menu.lst.old and /boot/grub/menu.lst

I wasn't expecting that?

Now I was expecting the df -h to list the partitions like the etc/fstab file?  I've just noticed that hda1 isn't there.

When I had Fedora
hda1  fat32  10,001  Windows 
hda2  ext3   99      /boot
hda3  ext3   18,000  /
hda4  extended 11,105
hda5  linux swap 1024
      free space 10,081
hdd1  fat32  9731

Unfortunately, I didn't write it down, but I believe I left everything as it was and installed Suse in the free space, which became hda6.  I also mounted my shared drive /dev/hdd1.  

I delibrately left the windows, and fedora bits alone, because I thought the /home directories wouldn't play nice together.

Regards
Janet
