Hi Folks
I am looking to convert an XP home box to SuSE 8.2. However, I have a few problems, namely the fact that the HD is NTFS. So what do I need to do to this to make it useable under SuSE

Sean, If you are going to replace XP with Linux, then you don't have to do anything, just install SuSE, it will reformat the drive in preparation for Linux. If you plan on dual booting, then your task will require a bit more work. You will need a program like Partition Magic ($80) to shrink the ntfs drive to make a partition to install Linux on then. I think SuSE may have something, check the manuals in your package as there are notes about this. Best suggestion, be rid of XP, Install SuSE 8.2 and have a lot of fun!
