34.4 Accessing Files on Different OS
on the Same Computer
New computers generally ship with a preinstalled operating system, usually Windows.
If you have installed Linux on a different partition, you might want to exchange les
between the different operating systems.
Windows can not read Linux partitions by default. If you want to exchange les between
these two operating systems, you have to create an “exchange partition”. If you prefer
a more direct approach, look at http://www.fs-driver.org/ to get a driver
supporting an ext2 lesystem on Windows. The following le systems are used by
Windows and can be accessed from a Linux machine:
FAT
Various avors of this le system are used by MS-DOS and Windows 95 and 98.
You can create this type of le system with YaST. It is possible to read and write
les on FAT partitions from Linux. The size of a FAT partition (and even the
maximum size of a single le) is subject to restrictions, depending on the FAT
version. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VFAT for more information
about FAT le systems.
NTFS
The NTFS le system is used by Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista. openSUSE includes write access support
to the NTFS le system. See http://en.opensuse.org/NTFS-3g for more
information about NTFS-3g.
During the installation of openSUSE, your Windows partitions are detected. After
starting your Linux system, the Windows partitions usually are mounted. These are
possible ways of accessing your Windows data:
KDE
Press Alt + F2 and enter sysinfo:/. A new window opens displaying the char-
acteristics of your machine. Disk Information lists your partitions. Look at those
that are of the le system type ntfs or vfat and click on these entries. If the
partition is not already mounted, KDE mounts the partition now and displays the
contents.
