gparted is the way to lose partitions (on install). It writes data on disk too fast openSUSE install *do not write anything before last install step* jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Gparted is an excellent partitioning tool. When I've run it from a live CD such as Parted Magic, I have never had issues. For a newer linux user (which the OP seems to be), in my opinion it is easier and safer to use. It is less complex than the Suse partitioner for a novice. That being said, my approach has been: 1 - Defragment the drive from within the windows partition, using the windows defragment tool. 2. Shrink the Windows partition from within Windows (using the windows tools) leaving unpartitioned space for Linux. In this way you first decide how much space to leave for Windows. If you have/made win recovery disks, this procedure is very safe. 3. Reboot into the live CD/DVD partitioner and partition the unallocated space (created in 2) into your desired linux partitions. However, since this is a win 8.1 machine you have to decide whether you want to use secure boot or only UEFI. I would suggest reading up about Secure Boot/JEFI, GPT partitions etc., before undertaking this installatiion (sorry I don't have good links offhand), Also make a plan for how many linux partitions to use, for a novice I would suggest as simple a partiton scheme as possible. Either two or three partitons (swap and / only, or swap, / and /home only).

I clearly remember someone stating that GPARTD IS the same partitioner that Opensuse uses. Did I dream that? -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

same libraries, probably, but when you install an ubuntu, for example, as soon as you choose a partitioning scheme, it's written on disk, this is not the case with openSUSE jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
