Hello
I am trying to add Leap 42.2 to fresh Windows 10 installation. The Windows installation was performed with the legacy option activated in the BIOS The laptop has a brand new Seagate ST1000LM014* hard drive which is set to GPT [*] 1 TB SSHD HDD Laptop Upgrade Hybrid 2.5" 9.5mm 5400 RPM 64 Mo NAND Flash MLC 8 GiB
You already have another thread on this same subject on this list.
After installing Windows I booted systemrescuecd-x86-4.8.1 to find out what kind and how many partiions the Windows 10 installation had created because I am still trying to understand how it works now. I was expecting 4 partitons - there were 2.
2 is the normal with Windows install media. 3 or 4 is how OEMS do it.
The HD now had 2 partitions: /dev/sda1 500 MiB : Windows Recovery partition (I believe) - formated NTFS
No. Windows boot. Only OEMs create a recovery partition. Or you if you use software to create it yourself.
/dev/sda2 128 GiB : Windows system partition - formated NTFS
Next I tried installing Leap 42.2 which I had burnt to an usb key using Suse Studio ImageWriter Note : The usb key is 8 GiB but it appears as 4 GiB once the Leap DVD image has been added.
Nothing to note. It is how it is. Notice that it has no partition table. It is identical to a DVD, so it has the size of the DVD. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
