Any help would be very welcome.
I've never yet touched Vista or Win7, but I have suggestions anyway:
1-Use the repartitioning function of Windows Disk Management (or diskpart from recovery console cmdline) to resize the Windows partitions, and to create the partitions you wish for openSUSE to use, making sure at least one not to be used as swap is a primary, before ever booting the openSUSE DVD. Only if openSUSE refuses to use those that you created in advance, then
The laptop came with a dynamic disk. Like it's right now I can't create primary or extended partitions. In order to do that I must convert the dynamic disk into a basic disk but that involved reformatting the disk and that's something I don't like at all. I don't have a Windows 7 system dvd. Only a recovery dvd which probably wouldn't work if I change the partitions.
