I need to repartition my hard disk, but need input on how to do it and what the different partitions are called in the disk tool in YaST (I still get a little confused about primary, extended and logical partitions). Also I would appreciate comments and suggestions, since this partition and installations needs to run fo a few fears. It is a 160 GB and I need it for a dual boot machine (Linux and WinXP for a 40 GB iPod). I have something like this in mind: "Primary partition": WinXP NTFS 60 GB "Extended partition" (with the following "logical partitions"): /boot ext3 50 MB /swap swap 512 MB / ext3 10 GB /home ext3 50 GB Is that OK? Do I use primary and extended in the right way – and what about the order of the partitions? Any othe comments? I am considering dividing the Win-partition into two partitions – one for the OS and one for data (maybe in FAT32 format). How would such a partition table look like (would that demand one more primary partition)? Will I have to create the two Win partitions from YaST or from Windows?
