this is pretty much all I call say. (live cd runs perfectly, but can not intall it for this reason)
Can someone tell me what to do to fix it.thanks
More information required.
Boot the live cd and open a terminal and type su and hit enter twice
Now type:
fdisk -l

tell us about your other Operating systems too

Mandriva 2008.0 and I changed to opensuse recently, I intalled once, but something got wrong after a couple of day and it crashed real bad. I have tried to re-intall it, but it quit when partitioning and formatting my hard drive.
What is this machine and what originally was installed on it?
Look at this
Windows and GPT FAQ: Version 1.1
The woes of a GUID Partition Table
See this info too, related as far as I can see to your setup
Installation on MacBook Pro Intel (x86 - openSUSE
what does the error say, exactly
i ask, because
-
i can’t find a reference to a “system error -3009” for Linux
-
i can find a reference to a “error code -3009”
-
i did find and “error code 3009”: “System error code 3009 means
“The requested operation is not allowed when there are jobs queued to
the printer.” This error code may also display as
“ERROR_PRINTER_HAS_JOBS_QUEUED” or as the value 0xBC1.”

HOWEVER 1:
i think that is a Windows[tm] error code which causes me to wonder
exactly HOW are you trying to install openSUSE?
try again:
-boot from the Live CD
-WHILE running the Live CD, find the desktop icon named “Install
openSUSE” (or something like that) then click it and follow your nose…
HOWEVER 2:
most experienced folks here recommend you run a Live CD to help you
prove your hardware is compatible, and that you like what you
try–but, to install download and use the DVD (which gives you more
options)…
HOWEVER 3: i strongly advise you to READ all of the mulit-part thread
linked below; then back-up ALL your data, photos, music, etc as well
as any other operating systems on that machine prior to booting that
Live CD again with the intention of installing:

acer aspire one,and it had intalled linpus linux. but I used mandriva 2008 for like a year.
trying to fix the problem, I might created this gpt system file, but Iam unable to delete it. Can you tell me how to re-formatte the disk. I have tried with yast partitioner, but it give me error when setting ms-dos on expert setting.
You have created a GUID disk. Did you try to reformat the disk from the LiveCD Partitioner before launching the installation? You may need to use another tool (using the command line tool “parted” or the gui version, GParted) to modify the disk.
Yes, I have tried to change this gpt partition table with yast partitioner, but no results.
I get this message:
Error
Faliure occurred during
following action:
Setting disk label of
disk /dev /sda to msdos.
System error code was: -1013
And The error code - 3009 is when formatting with ext3.
I tried this parted and gave this error: input/output error during write on /dev/sda.
I think the hd is dead!!. Can anyone tell me if there’s a tool to confirm this.
It seems a little unlikely that the HD is shot. But it’s possible. The Ultimate Boot CD: Ultimate Boot CD - Overview
Might help check your HD amongst other things.
thanks for the tip. but since can’t load window too, window xp don’t recongnize the table nor delete it, I am pretty much sure that the ssd drive is dead.
Have you altered any settings in the BIOS related to AHCI or Compatibility Mode?
Again, did you try using the program “parted” from the command line? For example,
parted /dev/sda print
And what happens when you do?
parted /dev/sda4 rm
parted /dev/sda1 rm
parted /dev/sda mklabel msdos
