I'm sure everyone is sick of seeing posts like this, but this is unusual. Unusual because I didn't have these problems installing Red Hat and didn't expect anything but normal with SuSE. I've got an 18gb with one 8gb Windows98 partition and the rest _had_ Red Hat on it. I say _had_ because after booting from the SuSE 6.4 CD and going into Custom Partitioning and removing the RH partitions, it couldn't see any available space over and above the 8gb Windows paritition. So, I booted a Win98 boot disk, ran fdisk wiped the non-Dos partition off the drive and created a second partition, which was my D: drive and it worked, no problems. Then I booted the SuSE CD again, and tried to have it overwrite the the new D: partition and install itself, but this didn't work either. It appears to only be seeing space between cylinders 1019 and 1026 as what's availabe, that's it. For some reason, it can't see the rest of the empy space on drive. I also did an fdisk /mbr...I thought that might be messing things up, but it didn't fix the SuSE installation problem.
