I hope to use some of the windows ntfs partitions as backup space. so it's a dualboot install, not openSUSE only, the new hard drive will have to accomodate the two systems.
Yes, sorry to say that.
It is probably the best way to use openSUSE installer proposal for now, That is not an option as Yast wanted to install on an external USB.
I can't beleive this. Why is any usb drive connected at this time??
Good question. Answer 1: Nobody told me to remove it. Answer 2: I also tried to put the iso-image there.
anyway you seems to have a nice partitioning sheme... keep it.
OK
be only aware than, with any OS, it's frequently better to use for some weeks the system before beeing sure the setup fits your needs. During these weeks, keep in mind than you may have to reformat the whole disk.
Yes. My experience is that any scheme I tries had its drawbacks. I just did not install enough to find out which was the worst.
I use to keep on a special folder all the windows drivers I use in a recent past (for I have frequently to reinstall windows :-().
May be in some time you will find you need to encrease, or hopefully decrease the windows partition size :-))
This mostly depends on my further need for windows-only-software. (No, not games but science database access and some other commercial software.)
