I'm just wondering if it's possible nowadays to setup a dual boot linux
SUSE distro with xp booting from an NTFS partition.
I just recently installed SUSE and it works great!! I'm impressed with
the GUI and my mp3's play like a charm, unlike the latest RD distro
that steered me away from linux.
I had to completely erase everything in my HD and installed XP on a FAT
partition and then installed all of suse on the "/" partition. I have
2 other partitions using NTFS for archiving purposes.
Since linux can't write on an NTFS partition and I needed extra space
for my linux distro I shrunk 1 of the NTFS partitions and freed around
6 gigs of space. I reinstalled SUSE and used up 3 gigs of space, now
the other 3 gigs are somewhere in my HD and don't know how to reclaim
it.
Anyone out there with some knowledge on SUSE please give me a hand??
SUSE is a great linux distro, for those of you interested in linux and
fed up with spending your $$$ on wintendo software just to realize in
the end the software doesn't work as expected. I just began using SUSE
linux and it works like a charm on my laptop!!!
