edit ur /etc/fstab "windows" to "Windows" and do u remember u created root account while installing?unlike ubuntu(sudo),most other distros needs separate root password.u can press ALT+F2 in Gnome to get a run dialogue and run "gksu gedit /etc/fstab[/code] to edit it as root.
for mount -a,u need to open terminal run:
"su -" press enter;give root's password.and then run mount -a.

Now the "other" folder is working and I can access the "Kubundu" drive here.
But the "windows" folder is not working it is still empty. I make another folder viz "windows" and restarted the pc and also edit the /etc/fstab visa versa, but the "windows" or "windows" both are empty.

Yes do note the case, what is in the fstab should be in the filesystem. If you could access the fstab button from partitioner its a lot easier. Do try again and see, select a windows partition in partitioner and click edit and see if you can access the fstab button
And I think i forgot to mention to create the C D E F G.........sheesh
You can also do that in GUI in nautilus provided you are superuser

Many Many thanks both of you,
Today I removed the Dir Windows/windows which was created yestarday and created created DIR as per praka123's recommendation as windows and then C D E F I and mount -a. But there was an error during mount -a. Unfortunately due to power failure my system gone off.
While restarted I go to filesystem/windows and found there C D E F G and I delighted there is all the windows files are present. Now I can share all the files/audio.video etc in Open SuSe.
Thanks again to u all for taking pains to solve the problem.
Will u solve another problem please. Some where in the Open suse I read that there is a option of dialer to connect the internet i.e "kinternet". Now how to configure it. I am tried my best to solve the problem but failed. When my system starts it displays err msg as under :
*www.imagehosting.com/out.php/i1367655_Untitled.gif
Presently I connect the net as under
Click double computer icon on the status bar then click "dial up connection" then "connect to BSNL vida DSL(dsl0).
Note that while I was 1st configured the DSL during that time name the service provider as "BSNL". Also note I have a BSNL Dataone connection.

This is a bug :-S
Open Yast
In Yast, go to System->System Services and enable the service called "smpppd" if it is disabled
reboot

Thanks the problem is solved.NucleusKore said:
Back to previous topic. While I tried to copy a file in the windows drive, it is failed with a error msg " you have no write permission". Now how to overcome from this problem. How to enable write access right in the windows folder from open suse.

Make it as follows, I made the lines you have to change in bold to make it easy for you:
Please note it is umask and NOT unmask.
Reboot

@skghosh44:Ofcourse,i expected that only.u need to open nautilus browser as root user and access full permission.many people makes a shortcut in Applications menu or in panel a shortcut to nautilus opening as root by adding a launcher with "gksu -u root nautilus --brower" etc.
else to open as local user,
open a terminal,see the o/p of "groups" command as local user-paste it herealso the o/p of " ls -ld /windows/D".a group will be there called "plugdev" or something like that if u had write permission
we shud run "usermod" for local user to have the disk group in secondary groups.for that i need "cat /etc/group" o/p from a terminal posted here.I will post the command afterwards.
also a reboot is necessary for u after editing /etc/fstab or running commands as above.else manually umount those partitions.
i am not yet comfortable with umask thingy's.
dont use yast for mount for the time being

I'm stumped. That's why is preferable to assign all mount points at install. Anyway I hope Praka123 is able to help you. I know SuSE controls access by Access Control Lists. That's one last thing to be checked.
Open a konsole, become superuser, and type the following command and post the output:
getfacl /windows/C
Here is an example:

Do it for the other windows partitions as well. I am expecting the same output.
