Getting Suse On To A Specific Hard Disk

Hi folks,

I'm trying to get SUSE on to a specific drive on my computer. I've got 3 drives in my PC: An 80 gig drive that holds XP, a 300 gig drive that stores files and a third drive that is completely empty but formatted in NTFS. I'm trying to get SUSE on to that empty drive and then get the computer to give me the choice of which OS to boot into.

The problem: During the SUSE installation I can not figure out what HD SUSE is trying to partition and I'm worried about over-writing data. How do I get SUSE to go where I want it to and how do I recognize that SUSE has targeted the correct drive?

Thank you

Use the expert mode in the partitioner. If you want to be sure, you could remove all partitions from the 3rd drive with something like gparted or even fdisk in Windows. Then the installer will not suggest squashing any Windows partitions but give you a choice of taking the 3rd disk.

Further to ken_yap's advice: there's a handy GUI tool to delete the ntfs partition located in windows at: control panel --> Administrative tools --> Computer management --> Storage --> Disk Management (local) --> Rclick the ntfs partition and select "delete partition"
