Hi, After a couple of years using opensuse under VirtualBox under Windows, I want to try the feature of attaching an independently installed OS on a separate partition so I can do dual-boot when I want to. I really like having both systems equally available with a simple mouse-click under VB, but it would be nice to also be fully independent of Windows and VirtualBox, and I even have hopes of moving to linux as host using KVM and QUEMU someday. Unfortunately, leap 42.2 won't install on my Samsung NP700Z7C-S01US. I made a flash drive which boots into the selection GUI and gives me several options, among them install and boot from hard drive. The USB flash drive doesn't show as such; I get sda, sdb, and sdc, which I take to be the hard drive, Samsung's 8G internal flash, and the 16G USB flash drive it just booted from. However, the install selection can't see the USB flash and the "boot from hard drive" can't find a bootable hard drive at all (W10 boots reliably from the hard drive). I'm using a newly downloaded copy of openSUSE-Leap-42.2-DVD-x86_64.iso and Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.7.8.exe. Before I got into the habit of running opensuse under W10, I had no trouble installing opensuse. I also had no trouble installing opensuse under VB.
