Personally... I wouldn't use the SUSE installer to resize an NTFS partition.
I had the same opinion until I succesfully did NTFS resize with SuSE 9.0 on a few machines a work. It's just that it sound as if there is a bug in 9.1.
I've had no problems with FAT32 partitions, but NTFS and Linux don't play well together.
Sad, because NTFS have been standard on Win for a long time. Of cource you can make a FAT32 for file exchange between the two OSs, but the ability to resize and read data from a NTFS partition (with YaST, not some extra application sold seperatly) is a must in a world with a lot of Windows users and -PCs.
Do it the easy way... use native Windows tools to do it. You can use some of the tools provided with Win2k (not sure about XP) or use a 3rd party tool like Partition Magic. Saves you a lot of grief and trouble.
What are the partition tools called in Win2k? I do not want to buy Partition Magic.
