Hello, For my son I bought me a HP Pavilion dv6 2020sb. As he needs Windows for school I wanted to make a dual boot setup Windows 7 + OpenSuse 11.2 My first try last week ended up in a complet disaster. The HP came with a small Systeem volume (hidden?) a large C volume, a 14 GB recovery volume and a small HP Tools volume. All dynamical (simple). The first thing I did was to skrink the C volume and I also created two new ones (using windows 7) During the installation of OpenSuse 11.2 the first problem occured when Yast tried to guess the partition table. Translated from dutch to english <quote> Parted which is used by Yast2 to change the partition table can't read the partitions on /dev/sda. You can use the partitions on /dev/sda as the are right now. You can format then and create mounting point. .... .. </quote> The complete Dutch text can be seem here: <URL:http://users.telenet.be/tos4ever/downloads/yast.jpg> I click on Ok and tried to create mount points. Whatever I tried I could'nt make a swap partition. Nevertheless I went further. I was in a hurry (my wife wanted to go out) so I started the installation and went out. When I came home I saw a error message something like this: 'Grub unable to write to mbr and grub error 17'. Rebooting the laptop into Windows 7 was impossible. I got a 'bootmgr not found error'. With the help from a friend I could make Windows booting up again. I wonder if the dynamical volumes has something to do with this? In the past I've installed dual boots on XP and Vista machines without any problem but now I really don't know how to go further. The current partition setup can be seem here: <URL:http://users.telenet.be/tos4ever/downloads/partitions.jpg> Any help would be very welcome.
