Why is there only one? Generally, you can resize the existing partition and create new ones for Linux.
That seems to be getting harder. I bought a new laptop for the office about a year ago. Came with Win7 and a 250GB drive. I expected to be able to shrink that from within Win7 way down. It refused to shrink below 160GB.
No idea why. I also don't recall if the openSUSE installer will even try to shrink the NTFS version that is created by Win7.

Is 160 gig the minimum disk size for Windows 7? I bought a Win 7 laptop with 360 gig drive and Windows shrunk it's partition down to 180 with no issues. 160 gig is about the size of the hard drive, as I recall, in my Dell Duo netbook/tablet with Win 7 Home Premium on it. -- “The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.” — Will Rogers _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
