Is abort the only option available to you? Seems to me you could always take the proposed solution and modify it or choose to use your own partition scheme.
To modify the proposed partition scheme would require that I reenter the information on the windows partitions manually -- and I fear that I would get a detail wrong and botch the whole thing.
Not at all. If it is asking you to change existing partitions there is something very wrong. You should only need to create new partitions for Linux.
Exactly. Modify means exactly that. Your current proposed scheme is shown to you and you adjust it. You don't re-enter it.
You have to (or at least you WANT TO) do your windows shrink outside of linux anyway, and you should come away from that with unallocated space as you mentioned. I haven't a clue why it suggested whacking your windows partition again if there was already unallocated space. Seems like it shouldn't.
Felix may be right on: YaST is not seeing a GPT layout, but a traditional partitioning setup with four primaries. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
