I have just installed Open Suse 11.1 (from DVD) shipped with my DIGIT Feb edition. I burnt the DVD ISO to a DVD, and loaded it to my External Hard disk with the following partitions
swap 2 gb
/home 25 GB
/ 10 GB
After installing now it smoothly dual boots with My Windows XP installed on my internal Hard drive. But the problem is that I can't boot with out the External hard disk. if i remove the Ext Hard disk before booting, its showing error 25. please help me as I can't carry my ext hard drive everywhere with me.
Also I m not able to play MP3, mpg, DAT, VOB files (what else we play) in any player. Totem says that it does not have codecs to play these files . I have installed xine ,amarok, etc but could not play DVD or mp3. Being a newbee plz help me in dojng this .
When I m trying to manage packages using "install software" option, it works fine but gives a msg like this(I have attached the screen shot).
These are the first stumble blocks i have faced till now, Please help me out off these
Distribution: Mandriva 2009 X86_64 suse 11.3 X86_64 Centos X86_64 Debian X86_64 Linux MInt 86_64 OS X

In fstab all you;re drives are mentioned if you remove one than one is missing that what it told you , and that is why it will not boot
About the codecs see packmann repositories

Well than I suggest to configure You're Software Repositories again.
Because normally there more than one , and also the refresh and priority
should be configured .
And look carefully if all the URL are correct.
As every installation is different it is likely that I use other Repositories than you
