The system is currently running win 98 and I was intending to run both os's on the same system. I have done this in the past (with this very computer) but this time suse refuses to detect the hard file.
Yast (the suse instal program) runs as usual and at the first attempt finds the drive. It suggests a partition but does not apear to see the windows instalation. It then asks if I wish to proceed with install, I click yes and it is anable to mount the partitions. I quit the install and it goes back to the start. This time it simply says, no hard disk was found for the install pleas check your hardware.
Any ideas?.
Anyone :)
It sounds like Yast is working within a single partition instead of recognizing the windows partition. I had Mandrake 7.x do something similar on me a couple of years ago.
I think the answer might be a clean format, with more atttention payed to the initial partitioning. I think I only have one partition containing windows and this one partition is taking up the entire drive. fdisk will not let me place any more partitions or even extended partitions within the existing partition.
pretty strange.
