Hi Jim!

Sorry for being so brain damaged that I didn�t get it the first time
round. Your assumption must be right, it must be the JT Disk Manager (a
product I�ve never heard of here in Germany) that is causing your
problems. I would suggest leaving the new drive formatted (or not, it
didn�t matter when I installed SuSE 5.3 on a brand new hdd) but *don�t*
partition it for Linux with JT DM. Then go through the SuSE installation
process again. This way, you�ll be using Linux� fdisk, mkfs and mount
commands on the partitions you wish to create on the new hdd. Don�t
touch the Win partition (-s?) on the old drive during installation.
Hope this will work for you!
