Hi everyone!
I have a problem trying to install Suse 8.0. Suse doesn't recongnise my partition table. I have a 6 Gb hd (3Gb windows and 3Gb linux) but yast tries to make 5.8 Gb partition.
If i try to install the partition suggestion it hangs.
If use ALT+CTRL+F2 and write fdisk -l the messagge is "unable to read /dev/hda".
Any suggestion?

Thanks

I have tried to install linux only (6 Gb) and had the same problem. It hangs.
Months ago I installed an old corel linux version and I hadn't any problem (win and corel).
I have a slackware version that use with loadlin (from DOS, in the win partition) , if write fdisk -l the messagge is

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 784 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 393 3156741 b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 394 784 3140707+ 83 Linux native

so I supposse the problem is suse.

I have had better luck sometimes,if I leave the part of the hard drive set aside for linux as unallocated free space and let the installer find and format/partition it for me.
Just a thought

Hhmmm... did you select everything to install? Its going to to take way up to 6 GB for SuSE Linux 8.x Pro ;-)

Try 8.1 instead. Use default selection -> this will take approx 2 GB. It will dualboot with your windows nicely. My test harddrive was a pentium V with only 8Gig HD, 5Gig for windows the rest for linux (SuSE 8.1)

Have alot of fun! Oops "alot" means hard to cew :-D
