Your guess is wrong.;) After the error appears, it allows me to go to expert settings where i can see that /dev/sda is the intel ssd. I also tried using fixparts from a gparted usb and it says that first partition overlap the second one. Ok, it appears that fixpart has the option to repair that. Tried to repair, rebooted, booted from the opensuse 13.2 usb, same problem. I could try deleting everything on this hdd reinstall windows and then retry install opensuse again, but i`m afraid that the problem will persist.
Another interesting, maybe usefull info: - opensuse 13.2 DVD starts and shows a text mode error that the source can not be found and if i want to retry. It seems that it doesnt find the usb stick that already booted. I choose no... went to expert mode choosed instalation source and guess what... the usb stick is there.. i can choose it an the instalation starts but after all that it gives the error that i told you in this bug report. - opensuse 13.2 live KDE starts without a problem but it gives the error that i told you in this bug report. @Neil: i have a mbr (gpt not usefull for a 120 ssd) I will try a 13.1 installer.
It is still not clear to me if windows installed on /dev/sda or /dev/sdb, if you are not interested in retaining partitioning of /dev/sda you can just enter expert partitioning in installer and create new partition table. Also assuming that you are on uefi machine, you probably want partition table to be gpt if you want to create uefi boot partition there. Installer logs are still missing - see https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Report_a_YaST_bug -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
