        hi Kai,

        You can do this, but the other way around. I assume that your HP came with 
either a restore disk or a restore partition?

        The technique is to blow the disk away and install openSUSE *first* leaving a 
workable partition at the front-end of the drive (appropriate and large 
enough) for you to *restore* vista into when you are done installing 
openSUSE. 

        Good luck...
