I had SuSE 9.1 Personal installed on my 80gb hard disk along with Windows XP Pro. I deleted the SuSE partition and the swap space and went to install SuSE 9.2 Pro and it will not detect my hard disk.!
it boots up then gets to the YAST2 screen.. then i select my language then it says "Hard Disk Not Found" or something along those lines. i really need this to work!!
How did you delete the partitions? Did you leave empty space? Maybe the installer still sees and mounts them and refuses to use them. Sorry, but I am also kind of helpless.
Parition A) Windows XP Pro - 15gb
Partition B) SuSE Linux 9.1 Personal - 15gb
Partition C) Linux SWAP Space - 1gb
Partition D) FAT32 Share Partition - 44gb
You could always copy off the data you wish to keep from Windows, using rfstool, and then reformat or repartition using a partition tool like Partition Magic or Partition Commander.
