Frank: your problem with names described in comment #15 is out of topic. It is not good idea mix several bugs to one. Please create new bugreport for it.
Ok, I'll create a separate bug-report.
I am not able to determine if partition is valid windows partition with installed windows :( and I am not sure if you can do it in yast2-storage but I close the bug like wantfix. If you have any idea how to solve the problem please let me know or create fate request but for now it is wantfix.
I know it's a very difficult task to determine if a partition contains a valid Windows-installation. But I think current strategy isn't that bad. I'm using SUSE for a long time now and I never had severe problems (this one is really not critical). Concerning my issue: if $Boot is a file or directory which is detected but not there, it is not a strategy problem. Another thought: What about the existence of the "windows"-directory, does current strategy search for it ? Of course, if it is there, it's still not sure that we have a valid Windows-installation on this partition. But coming from the other other direction: if the partition contains a valid Windows-installation, there must be a windows-directory, right ? Just my two cents... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
