I have read on the SuSE web page that if you run XP with FAT32, there is no problem. However, the new machine has a 60GB drive, which is configured like this: C:\ (called BOOT) a NTFS file system of 28GB D:\ (called BACKUP), a NTFS file system of 25.5GB E:\ (called RECOVER), a FAT32 system with 2.4GB.
I want to ad the drive from my old PC, a drive I bought very recent, 120GB in total, 80GB on FAT32 and 40GB on ReiserFS.
I'm confused. So are you saying that the E drive is on the second hard drive already? What is the layout exactly? i.e. IDE1 - 28GB NTFS - C, 28GB NTFS - D? Let me know because I'm a little confused. The main problem is that SuSE can't resize NTFS partitions. That's the bottom line. You can use a program like Partition Magic to accomplish this. Or, if you can install SuSE on a drive that has Fat32, it can resize FAT32 partitions. And it can boot from a second drive in a number of ways. One way is that Grub is more or less installed in the MBR so that when you boot Grub comes up and gives you the option of XP or SuSE on the second drive. The install should take care of this. You can also, as a trial, install SuSE on the second drive and just boot from floppy, I believe. Preston
