I am trying to install oS v11.1 on a new Dell Vostro 1501 laptop. A problem has arisen that I don't know how to deal with. I had succeeded in installing the system in partitions that I had made using DFSee. I decided after working with it for a few days that I had made some decisions in the installation options that I now regretted, and decided to repeat the installation from scratch. One of the changes I wanted to make was/is the partitioning scheme. Here I have to describe exactly how I made the new partitions. I deleted all the existing partitions, so that the HD was all free space. I made the Boot Manager and made it Active. It is located in the MBR. I also made three partitions, for Swap (typr 82), Root and Home (both type 83). There are now no other partitions on the disk. I then started the installation. When the installer proposes partitioning, it doesn't see the partitions I have made, although I know they are there. It sees the BM primary, the large extended, and five (5) logical partitions, none of which resembles those that I actually made. But what the installer claims to see is exactly what I suggested to it in the earlier installation. I looked for a way to delete the partition tables, but found only an option to clean them. That didn't help. What do I have to do to get it to forget the past and live in the present? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
