In esssence, Yast is insisting on shrinking his D: (XP) which, I suppose he is understandably reluctant to do so, and is not letting him install on the 'C:' drive.
Could it be that there is actually only ONE physical harddrive and that is why YaST is having a problem with the partitioning? Remember that *nix does not use drive letters and refers to drives as drives and partitions as opposed to M$ windows that treats each partition as a drive.
I may be able to understand Yast suggesting this (not really actually, but hey:), but there's the option of creating partitions and mount positions in expert mode, right? How does Yast prevent this?

Thats the problem, he is not 'an expert'.. I see what you are saying tho' I'll try, although the earlier suggestion of created a linux and swap partition may be easier for him... can 'normal' fdisk do this or should I suggest he makes a blank FAT and let Yast shrink/repartition that ?
