-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I deleted one of the primary partitions (since one was used for data, I just moved what was in it to the other Windows partition, so nothing is actually lost there.) The YAST installer still wants to delete everything and wipe the disk. So first question is whether there is a way to get it to propose what I want -- keeping Windows and putting linux on the unused space. If I (in the expert partitioner) create an extended partition, and then create swap, root and home partitions, and set the Windows partition to /boot/efi, I get these error messages: Some subvolumes of the root filesystem are shadowed by mount points of other filesystems. Installation will encounter problems when booting because the disk on which your /boot partition is located does not contain a GPT disk label. Solutions? (If you need further information, let me know what. I'm not experienced with the partitionary.) Thanks. On 11/06/2016 05:20 AM, Carlos E. R. wrote:

More precisely, one cannot add another partition to a BIOS/MBR disk if 4 primaries already exist thereon, and none of those that exist is a valid Extended.
many people where confused because the OP said "UEFI" in his first post.
there is a bit more.
in msdos, AFAIK, extended partition (as the others) have to be in only one segment, it can't be split.
So, say that you use the 12Gb partition and remove it. These 12Gb are probably lost, if you want to use the 100+ Gb free space if the two are not contiguous.
Some software can move the remaining partitions (and renumber), leaving one space at the end. I think I saw the possibility of moving from primary to logical; but logical partitions need reserve a space for the pointer to the next partition, so there is a size difference to account for.
