Hi,
I am trying to install SuSE 6.4. But it does not recognize Windows, and so it will install itself by taking the whole HD.
I think you might have to do some partitioning. I prefer to have seperate disks for each OS but that is not always possible. I am going to assume you are somewhat new to linux, please forgive me if I am wrong. Windows and linux have to reside on different partitions. You will need at least one for windows and anywhere from two on up for linux depending on what you want to do. In order to break up your disk into different partitions you will need to use something like fips which will be in the /dosutils directory on the first cd if you bought the boxed set. If you don't mind installing windows again you can also use fdisk which is a dos util for creating disk partitions. fips is used for resizing and possibly creating partitions ( I don't really remember ). Get back to me and give me some more info on your situation so I know if I am going in the right direction with this. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
