Could you please explain some more
Is that error message what you get after you have tried re-booting the machine? Having had the install only 98% complete.
There is a bug in the installer relating to some openoffice packages. It is necessary to remove open office from the install and then it will complete properly.
*You do realize M6 is development and you can expect it to go wrong!
it happens during installation:

Got 1 Tb SATA (4 dynamic disks NTFS) and just wanna share one to 1 ext4 for / and 1 swap.
Got 6 now (4 ntfs, 1 ext4, 1 swap). PARTED(utility program) don’t work “disk partitioning / dev / sda can’t be read” (sorry 4 my English)
i don’t think it is OOffice problem… There is a lot of people who has this problem too. No solution yet.
ok(no harm in trying). How to install without openoffice packages? I’m noob)
If Parted is refusing to read your partitions there is something wrong.
Do you have any important data here? Because you could potentially nuke everything to kingdom come.
of cos i got important data) about 700 Gb.
During scaning configuration (2nd step in install):

It means i can’t resize only. I used diskmgmt.msc in windows to make 2 new. Then again tried to install openSUSE, formatted them to ext4 and swap and mount as / and linux swap.
Then continued installing, till GRUB problem
Do you understand about Primary and logical partitioning. Do you know what an extended partition is?
You can only have 4 primary partitions
An extended partition is a primary
An extended partition is actually a container for logical partitions
I know that, but i got dinamyc disks. And when there was only 4 partitions - the error with “parted” was too.
I don’t profess to understand ‘Dynamic’ it’s some Microsoft drudgery.
If you have a live CD. Eg Parted Magic
Open a terminal and get me
fdisk -l

convert them to basicdual boot with windows 7 - openSUSE Forums
But lets see fdisk -l first.

This link also shows how to backup data from your dynamic disks with TestDisk, i suggest that at least.

Absolute path to ‘fdisk’ is ‘/sbin/fdisk’, so running it may require superuser privileges (eg. root).
linux@linux:~> sudo fdisk -l
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
sudo: fdisk: command not found
Are you using a SUSE live cd or what?
With SUSE live just type: su
hit enter
you will now be able to do fdisk -l
Otherwise - explain what you are using.

A windows message from there dynamic disk setup? cant be!
Or can it be?
Another win7 with ‘dynamic disks’.

There is one thing for certain,

Apart from the first 3 lines there is nothing linux about this error message.
Hi
This is always the (and last) message you see when running sudo
for the first time…

Thank’s malcolmlewis I don’t use sudo I was not aware of that.
I still don’t understand this line however
sudo: fdisk: command not found
As I understand it all linux systems come with fdisk installed,
obviously wrong though.
(assuming it would be in the path)
as i said im noob, last time i used linux - 2003)
i didn’t know about SU:
linux@linux:~> su

so, will it help me to make GRUB work?

Not with my help. because I can understand the lingo and the image is too difficult to read.
Anyone got a handle on this?
so, will it help me to make GRUB work?
It is not as simple as just making grub work, regardless of the partitioning you have done you will notice you have 3 partitions with an SFS file system and one linux with no further details.
you will need to reverse what you did to create the linux using the same tools as you did to create it.
from that point (and even before) have a read here[dual boot with windows 7 - openSUSE Forums](dual boot with windows 7 - openSUSE Forums)
With the way TestDisk works it may be possible to run it without any of the above and fix your problem if you carefully check what it wants to do before letting it.(do that any way)
