I'm planning on installing OpenSUSE 11.3 on a friends computer, which is currently running (yuck) Vista. Will the install allow me to resize the existing NTFS partition?
tnx jk
I seriously doubt it will resize NTFS from Vista or Win 7.
It should for the XP variety. (and yes there is a difference.)
fyi: Vista/Win7 have a built in resize tool, so just boot into them and right clisk on the drive to resize IIRC.)

Hi, I dunno about Win 7 but it should work for Vista. If I recall correctly, years ago I installed Opensuse 11.0 on a laptop preinstalled with Vista (no service pack), and the installer correctly resized the NTFS partition to allow the creation of the partition needed for Opensuse.
I am 99.99% confident that openSUSE 11.0 could not resize a Vista NTFS partition. (At least a couple of times I've had to do the resize from within Vista, and I never worked with Vista at all before June, 08. 11.0 was out by then and I would have been installing the latest openSUSE versions. The last time I did it was last fall and I think I was using 11.2, but it might have been 11.1 Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
