You shld choose ext3

ext3 format for the partition. But even a smaller swap partition won't give you any trouble.

Installing Linux, a dual boot system with Windows and Linux

[clmlbx]

in sudgested partitioning it was written in red

shrink partition to 37 gb
shrink partition to 32 gb

^^Better go for customised partitioning option rather than suggested one.

lol, read the tutorial
Installing Linux, a dual boot system with Windows and Linux

It will clear every thing u want to know

[clmlbx]

ok i read guide

now there is a error

when i try to create partition it says it can't

value can only between 19456 to 19456 when i select this it is only 7.4 mb

what is wrong ?

It does'nt except +512m for swap or +8GB for /

[ThinkFree]

^^Means only that much free space is available for the partitions. If you want to expand them more, you will have to change size of existing partition(You may even lose data)

[clmlbx]

40 gb partition

[ThinkFree]

^^Any other extended partition on same partition?

[clmlbx]

no

it worked when I deleted my partition and then created a three new partition selecting my hard-disk (/,swap,/home)

and **** with suse I had to waste a lott of time to ragain my xp

will see to it after some months

anyways thanx to all of u for ur help

I don't know much in this open source software world.

In OpenSuse 11, default inode size is changed from 128 to 256. While formatting, make sure to change inode size to 128 from advance settings. Otherwise Ext2FS won't recognize the partitions. Happened with me. Had to reformat and reinstall after reading Release Notes. Make sure to read them before proceeding.
