For the last 18 hours I have tried to load SuSE 7.1! I do it normally OK with YAST2, no problem.
This time, it's hell!
I tried with a 4Gb HDD: newly formatted disk, no OS newly formatted disk with Windows 98SE I reduced the partition with fips2.0 (136Mb for Windows the rest free)
Same message 'unsupported partition table' 'Please repartition /dev/had'
YAST2 then goes on formatting /dev/hda1 as /boot'
I choose 'Default+Office' (335 packages) and .. at the first one 'disk space exhausted'
I have noted that there is no choice about:
Use entire disk
Delete Windows completely Shrink windows partition
Try using YaST1 (boot from 2nd CD-ROM). Also, does the BIOS support large drives? Have you selected LBA or CHS? Maybe an avenue to explore? M -- Martin Webster <mwebster@ntlworld.com> Registered Linux User #230322 http://homepage.ntlworld.com/spider-monkey/
