I really badly want to get involved with openSUSE, but my hard drive
isn't cooperating. I have an 80 gig Samsung, that I bought a while
back. I'm trying to install openSUSE on it, and when it comes time to
format it, after the status bar just says 0% for a while, an error
pops up that says:
Failure occured during following action:
Creating partition /dev/sda1
Error code -1008
Can somebody explain what's wrong?
barely :-(
just to guess, launch the rescue system (a menu entry of the
install media) and try fdisk /dev/sda1 to see if you can
write on this disk (you can try the same partition sheme
yast was proposing or any other)
then mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
this is said supposing the disk is empty (if it's not, your
initial move was tricky)
if fdisk can't writes the partition, the disk may be failing
