Hi 

As per my experience the partition table is written immediately after you
exit fdisk, but the changes will be displayed only after rebooting the
windows. So if you have deleted partition D it will still be shown in
partition info in fdisk. After a reboot it will display the partition details
correctly. 

Actually parttiioniong in SUSE is VERY COOL. 

Perhaps it uses WINDOWS's parttion record, which was not correct in your case.
  

I really don't know the INTERNALS.

Hi,

Windos Fdisk is supposed to write the partition during reboot. It is
written immediatly just before shutting down isn't it ?

Say I have C, D, E and if I start Windows in ms-dos prompt and remove D
drive using fdisk and reboot directly from SuSE CD, should the partition
table be written or not ?
?
?

Faced a major problem during SuSE 7 installation at one place here ?
