Sorry I am out of primary partitons too.
on an openSUSE only install , there is little need of primary. The only problem with logical ones is that they are much more difficult to guess in case the partition table is lost. Save fdisk -l and there are no more problems
I hope to use some of the windows ntfs partitions as backup space.
so it's a dualboot install, not openSUSE only, the new hard drive will have to accomodate the two systems.
It is probably the best way to use openSUSE installer proposal for now,
That is not an option as Yast wanted to install on an external USB.
I can't beleive this. Why is any usb drive connected at this time?? the only situation I see where there are no YaST solution is when the NTFS all disk partition can't be reduced (usually XP, as Vista can reduce itself it's partition) anyway you seems to have a nice partitioning sheme... keep it. be only aware than, with any OS, it's frequently better to use for some weeks the system before beeing sure the setup fits your needs. During these weeks, keep in mind than you may have to reformat the whole disk. I use to keep on a special folder all the windows drivers I use in a recent past (for I have frequently to reinstall windows :-(). May be in some time you will find you need to encrease, or hopefully decrease the windows partition size :-)) jdd -- Jean-Daniel Dodin Président du CULTe www.culte.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
