    I am quite new to Linux(only installed OpenSuse yesterday). I have got Vista on the C: drive and the installer installed OpenSuse after creating another drive from the storage I had freed by shrinking the C drive. I was wondering if there is any way of viewing my files on Vista on the C: drive from inside OpenSuse. I am using the KDE environment(if that is any use).
    Thanks
    Ishan

    which version of vista do you have? on business and ultimate, you might need to disable bitlocker.

    Just go to the file browser and double click on the drive.

    I figured how to do it. I had to add "remove hiberfile" to the partition's entry in /etc/fstab. Thanks for the replies
