We were facing that same issue on the opensuse Spanish list. A user was
stuck exactly at this point. The ISO file was in his openSUSE partition but
whatever the path he was using to locate the iso file, always got "No
repository found" response. He was using "net-iso" (mini-CD) to boot.

In your case, I am not sure a windows partition is allowed to be used as
source (I know "samba", "nfs" or "ftp" are, but just a "c:/", well,
dunno) :-?

I suggested the user to try linuxrc[1] (look for "install" parameter)
command at boot menu command line but I don't know if he finally was able
to achieve it.
