It is usually a one pass operation that shrinks your main Windows partition, leaving the "preload" and "service" ones alone and at the same time formats the new partition(s) needed for Linux. I've seen the process get interrupted if there are bad blocks in the disk. Usually you get an error message, when this is the case. > another issue came up as wifi lan adapter looks not working.

Do a search in bugzilla (https://bugzilla.novell.com/query.cgi) with Words:3945 and Product:opensuse 10.3 and you will find there are 10 open bugs being actively worked on now. If you feel that your case does not fit in any of those, by all means submit a new bug report, so they can start working in fixing it for you. -- Carlos FL Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
