Dual booting on a laptop is problematic only if you have a small hard
drive. SUSE installer does have glitches, use SUSE 10.3. not 10.2
The steps I would suggest:
Go control panel, Maintenance, Administrative, format HD/create
partitions. Here, right click on your C: drive and one of the options
will be 'shrink volume'. Click this and let Windows shrink the Windows
partitions.
This will leave you with free space.
Insert the SUSE Disc and reboot.
Install Suse and when you come to the Partition Manager select 'Use
Free Space' - usually the second option, If asked to mount this space
choose root /.
Suse should install on the free space.
Theree are caveats;
You may not be able to access your Windows Partitions this way.
You cannot restore the Windows Partition using Windows, you will need
a third party Partition Manager.
Backup
Bakcup again - have you backed up all your important files?
I always keep a copy of Koppix or a Linux rescue disc on hand in case
of missteps.
