Hello,

I'm trying to partition the HD on my Dell laptop. I did install XP Pro into C: and going to install Suse 9.2 into D: but the question is I don't know how to set the partition on the above screen.

Since my HD only has 30GB space, I want XP Pro has 15GB on its own, and Suse has the rest. There are six of them ...

/dev/hda 27.9 GB (I think it's the whole drive)
/dev/hda1 8.5 GB (That's windows sitting on I guess)
/dev/hda2 13.2 GB (no idea about this)
/dev/hda3 498.0 MB (This for Linus swap)
/dev/hda4 5.5 GB (no idea about this)
/dev/hda5 13.2 GB (no idea about this)

Anyone can help my little laptop partition?

no one knows?

SuSE partitioning sucks, although I use SuSE, and I am illiterate on many things. Mandrake has the best partitioner that I have found. I slip an old mandrake 8.2 disk in and go as far as paritioning the disk and then reboot into SuSE and take over all the Linux partition.

Fdisk in windows work also. I have always used Maxtor HD so I usually partition before adding OS's. Download the first disk from Mandrake. It is easy and very self explanatory.

Blessings, Bobo
