I've read that dual-booting under Vista is not as easy as 2k/xp because the partitioning is different. Every guide I've read so far says to have the Windows installer create a partition to be used later for Linux. Well, HP created the partitions for me, so I have little choice.
Can I safely (at least reasonably) resize or am I screwed?
hi Kai,
You can do this, but the other way around. I assume that your HP came with either a restore disk or a restore partition?
The technique is to blow the disk away and install openSUSE *first* leaving a workable partition at the front-end of the drive (appropriate and large enough) for you to *restore* vista into when you are done installing openSUSE.
And also create a FAT32 partition, where "My Documents" can be moved to, for data interchange between the two systems.
Okay, thanks. I'll give it a go tonight and see what happens. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
