(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

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
