Bob, just to clarify...you have 2 HD's right?? You replaced hda
(previously windows) and partitioned it off with a small section for
windows and the rest as additional space for your previously existing
SuSE install? Please confirm this as I'm not sure everyone caught the 2
HD thing looking at the suggested partitioning responses from the list.
