Lightbulb Re: To add another hard disk & Install Windows ?

There is an alternate way!

You can also remove the Linux drive completely from the system and replace it with the new drive. When installing windows, it should do the partitioning/formatting automatically during the install. Once your windows disk is installed and running properly, you can shutdown your system and replace the Linux drive as master.

I am not sure about the jumpers on your disks, but set the linux disk to master and windows disk to slave!

Start openSuSE and run "yast" and configure your bootloader as stated in one of the previous posts!

You will not need to partition/format anything from Linux if you do it this way! You will need to set your bios for the second (windows) disk as stated above as well!
