How can I use my SATA drives under Suse 9.2 ? Suse finds all other IDE drives without any problem, but I am missing 2 drives. I have winXP on 1 IDE drive and Suse on another IDE drive. Suse only see itself and another IDE drive (not the XP). Any suggestions?

This is what I get from fdisk-l
Code:

theres your winxp drive
/dev/hdd1 * 1 19457 156288321 7 HPFS/NTFS
check if you have any NTFS kernel module loaded, if not, go get one or you won't be able to read the NTFS drive above

Not sure how to check for a NTFS kernel module, but I can access the /dev/hdd1 whitout problems, so I guess I have a working NTFS kernel module. It is not the drive with XP installed though and it is a IDE drive. Im currently missing 2 SATA drives, 1x120 gb and 1x160gb, and they are all NTFS

ah ok then, well are they in a raid setup or something similar ? can you boot into windows and take a screenshot of 'disk administrator' (right click on my computer/choose manage/disak administration)

The disks arent setup in RAID, however my mobo , EPoX EP-8KDA3+ Socket 754
nForce3 250GB, does have the option. All drives are used as "normal" , no RAID setup that is. Hope this helps.

A solution has been found :)
After a suggestion that got me thinking, I moved the sata disks to another chipset on my mobo (having 2 different chipsets...) The disks where now recognized by suse and I had to make the following corrections on my system:
In my /etc/fstab file, I added :
/dev/sda5 /windows/D ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /windows/E ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
And also made sure there where the following directories under /windows/ :
mkdir /windows/D
mkdir /windows/E
and Im back :)
