Any help would be very welcome.
I've never yet touched Vista or Win7, but I have suggestions anyway: 1-Use the repartitioning function of Windows Disk Management (or diskpart from recovery console cmdline) to resize the Windows partitions, and to create the partitions you wish for openSUSE to use, making sure at least one not to be used as swap is a primary, before ever booting the openSUSE DVD. Only if openSUSE refuses to use those that you created in advance, then 2-Use the repartitioning function of Windows Disk Management to resize the Windows partitions, leaving available freespace for Opensuse to use. Be sure that is _available_ freespace, not space that is unused but unavailable due to all existing partitions being primaries. Windows boot loaders can boot Grub, and thus Linux.
