Blue_cow Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Ok so i just went to install Suse 9.3 professional over top of my old fc3 install and i got stuck on the partitioning part. Right now i have two hard drives. One with about 96gb of windows and 15 gigs of my linux partition then 1gb for the swap. Now recently i got another hard drive to have windows on. so thats 111gb of all windows that musnt be touched (it has all my music and stuff) and i dont want to erase my windows partition either. All i want to do is install Suse overtop of my old linux partition. So, does this sound right? - Delete Partition /dev/hda1 14.9gb (linux native) - Create root partition 13.9 (/dev/hda3 with reiser) - Create swap partition 1011.8mb on /dev/hda1 - Set mount point of /dev/hda2 to /windows/c - Set mount point of /dev/hdb1 to /windows/d Will that leave my windows partition untouched?

Compxpert Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 It should leave it untouched. The only thing u shouldn't leave untouched is the mbr since it seems u intend to dual boot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compxpert Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 That I don't know I do know how to setup FC4 to use the mbr but not Suse. My suggestion unless u want to wait for someone els to post is to use Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_cow Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 So do you think it would be safe to install like this.....? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leldorion Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) edit: bah, just ignore my post, it's early in the morning here and I guess I should wait to give advice when I'm fully awake. In other words, everything looks okay. Edited August 5, 2005 by Leldorion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
