I see your point here and I am so eager to install SuSE 9.1. It's just that I can't ignore the messages I read. Especially I am concerned with this issue about NTFS resizing described in this review:
Personally... I wouldn't use the SUSE installer to resize an NTFS partition. I've had no problems with FAT32 partitions, but NTFS and Linux don't play well together. Do it the easy way... use native Windows tools to do it. You can use some of the tools provided with Win2k (not sure about XP) or use a 3rd party tool like Partition Magic. Saves you a lot of grief and trouble.

Do it the easier way: add a drive just for Linux. I installed 9.1 on a 2 drive system with no problems at all. The first drive is Xp, using NTFS, the second is all Linux. --doug
