I have down-loaded OS-TW today (26 June) and burned it to DVD. I want to ADD it to a Windows system on a new computer. I have partitioned the SSD as follows: P1 EFS sys fat32 P2 Microsoft reserved p3 Basic data ntfs P5 / ext4 46 GiB boot,esp P6 /home ext 234 GiB P7 linux swap 27 GiB p4 ntfs Basic data parttion (windows)
What created the list above, you and your keyboard? ESP means
EFI System Partition
An ESP partition always has to be VFAT. So, your "P5" cannot be ESP, and most likely has no use for a boot flag.
OK, here's the picture: (see attachment--I can't paste the damn picture using Windows!) That should obviate my typos.
Ok, first thing is you do not send large attachments to a mail list, impacting every subscriber and archiver. Instead, you put in some external share place, such as susepaste.org, and tell the link in a post. Or you could use "diskpart" to obtain a list of partitions, in text. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-comma...

Then, you can not sign an email like that. Necessarily a signature on email has to start with a line that only contains dash, dash, space, line end then your signature end. Like my signature below. This is documented, for instance RFC3676, section 4.3 Now, about your partition setup. The best thing is to have NO partitions at all where you want Linux to go, because the install program will want to create them, and if sees all used space it will either baulk or want to delete the wrong partition. So, you could delete partitions 5, 6, and 7 and then run the SUSE installer. Or not, and tell the expert partitioner in the installer what to use, as I described on another post. And ESP is the partition 1. Strange that it is fat32. And strange that also partition 5 has "boot, esp" flags. I would just delete 5, 6, and 7, then install. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
