When I tried to install 10.2 on the computer everything went good until it started to make the partitions. Then it hangs for an hour, then finally giving my an error message about how it can't write to the disk. I went to a message board, which I usually go to, and several people there have said that it is a compatibility problem with the installer and that it happened to them with their sata hard drives.

Ah, the top-poster... What message board? It's really not very sensible to talk about incompatibility between the installer and the drivers or the SATA interface to them. That's because the Linux kernel abstracts hard drives of all kinds attached via all known interface busses as a uniform linear block-addressable device, and it is this that the installer uses for operations partitioning. Actual installation of packages and their files relies on an even higher-level abstraction, the file system. So it's really very unlikely there's a SATA-specific problem with the SuSE installer. Lastly, you've really got to be more specific in reporting your experiences if you want to get meaningful feedback and help here.
