Now that's good news indeed. It seems to me that it was really a filesystem error. Did you have a closer look at the error message: "unclean filesystem"? That's usually the best indication that the partition has some errors which need to be corrected first. It was probably booting into windows again that finally solved it.

Im on a seperate computer writing this but yea i did boot up into windows. Maybe that was it.. And to think I spent the last 24 hours frustrated as hell just because of that! Thanks again guys for all your help. Ive used linux before but Im still pretty new to it. I plan to install SUSE as soon as the correct version downloads lol (I downloaded a 64bit by accident). anyone know a site I can download a whole tonne of useful linux progs for free?

cool, thanks again. In a completely random and seemable unrelated topic.. anyone know why the linux symbol is a penguin?

extra progs? Jeez, by the time you're done installing the software that comes with Suse, you won't be looking for any extras. Really, there is so much! But do make sure to add the repositories: that's where all the goodies tend to be (media players, codecs, tools, etc).

There are 300+ repos at software.opensuse and no officially supported search engine. Have fun.

OK, I know that these do not cover the whole lot (beryl etc are in a separate repo again) but I think these pretty much cover it all:

Edit: I see that beryl etc are there after all

You downloaded the BitTorrent file that points to the tracker, now you need an application called BitTorrent to open this little file and start downloading the ISO.

I'm assuming
