Recently bought a new Dell desktop machine for home use which came
pre-installed with Vista 64bit.

640GB HD was partitioned something like:

20 MB(?): Dell Tools
15 GB: Rescue Disk
~590ish GB: NTFS C:


Went to install openSUSE 11 (x86, not x86_64) which suggested shrinking the C:
drive down to 250GB. Edited the partition tables, resizing Vista back to 128 GB
less than whatever was available (128 GB for Linux).

Created an Extended partition, the tool said 129 GB (ok, whatever)

First parition I created 20GB as '/'
Second partition was 8GB swap
Third partition was 50.5GB '/home'
and fourth partition as defaults, resulting in 50.5GB '/cvs'

Continued... the installation program begins to resize the partition and gets
an error (I think it was 1008?). I try installing again, but the partition tool
says the table is corrupt so I cannot add/remove/edit any partitions.

WTF do I do now?
