[opensuse-factory] Problems to install a dual boot Windows 10 & Leap 42.2 system
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 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. The install was a legacy installatiion with no efi - I say this because both options were available in the BIOS. I resized /dev/sda2 to 128 GiB using the parted tool, and left the rest of the hard drive (931.51 GiB - 500 MiB - 128 Gib) unformated and empty. The HD now had 2 partitions: /dev/sda1 500 MiB : Windows Recovery partition (I believe) - formated NTFS /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. When I got to the "Suggested Partitioning" page, the suggestion was to install Leap on the usb key (that I was using for the installation). The message was: Delete Partiton /dev/sdb1 (369 MiB) Delete Windows partion /dev/sdb2 (4.00 GiB) Set disk label of /dev/sdb tp GPT Here's a screenshot: http://j.pearson.pagesperso-orange.fr/Suggestion_partitionning_20161001_1522... Next I opened the Expert mode and I tried to manually add a /dev/sda3 partion for Leap. When I selected /dev/sda and right clicked to "Add Partiton", the following message occured YaST2 Error Operation not permeted on disk /dev/sda The partitioning on your disk /dev/sda is either not readable or not supported by the partitionning tool parted used to change the partition table. Here's a screenshot: http://pagesperso-orange.fr/j.pearson/Operation_not permitted_20161001_152212.jpg I also tried to delete the two existing 2 Windows partions individually. I could not. /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 All comments and help appreciated TIA James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Boot install medium in legacy mode instead of EFI. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

You already have another thread on this same subject on this list.

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)
