I really badly want to get involved with openSUSE, but my hard drive isn't cooperating. I have an 80 gig Samsung, that I bought a while back. I'm trying to install openSUSE on it, and when it comes time to format it, after the status bar just says 0% for a while, an error pops up that says:
Failure occured during following action: Creating partition /dev/sda1 Error code -1008
Can somebody explain what's wrong?
Probably not, unless they've seen the same thing in the same or a very similar context. You should say a lot more about the hardware you're using, since the most likely issue is a hardware compatibility problem. Some have known work-arounds, others might require a bug report to get fixed.
