Then, in principle, you should not be having problems.
But you are having problems. That’s why folk are asking for additional information such as:
- The output of “parted -l”.
I think what we have here is (considering he already said it previously had win8)
Is a EFI machine (he said is disabled)
Almost sure to be GPT,
If I’m not mistaken, using Grub requires legacy mode, but in this situation with GPT you need a fake msdos bios_grub. I’ll guarantee he doesn’t have that.
What I don’t know is if win7 can work in EFI mode, my guess is not because it was developed before EFI.
Hello,
I got message that it could not state device l.
ANy other comannd that have to execute?
Thanks,
veki
Boy you really don’t want to tell us what you are doing…
When and where did you get the can not start device message.
Really we can not look over your shoulder. You have to tell use what you see and what you are doing.
grub2-efi can work in EFI mode. If his Windows 7 is in EFI mode, then he should install opensuse the same way. If Windows is in MBR mode, then he needs to install opensuse that way.
It’s hard to give him advice because he repeatedly fails to provide useful requested information.
It can, if it is 64bit Windows 7, but not if it is 32bit. And it might depend on whether the install media used have EFI support.

Indeed. My guess is that he has a broken partition layout, but he
refuses to answer questions, so it is impossible to help him.

Prove it.

I am quite disappointed with your geeky arrogance guys.
I do not want to ask you anything else. I do not need your help. I will not use Opensuse anymore and look for other distro.
Thanks

Hi
Um UEFI has been around for a long time…mid 90’s AFAIK. Maybe you
meant secure boot and windows 7?
I have UEFI booting windows 7 and openSUSE with a gpt disk, never tried
legacy if I can help it…

You just need to tell use things. No arrogance involved. We can not help if you don’t answer our questions and give vague descriptions.
So good luck to what ever you find that works.

Good luck, fare well. I hope you change your attitude wherever you go.
