system error -1007 when creating partitions

English Install/Boot/Login
1

I’ll be honest, I come from Windows 7 (which I am still using) and I am trying to make a dual boot with openSuse 12.2
so I made a CD, booted from it and tried openSuse from the CD and I liked it. so I started installing it, but at the moment it has to create partitions it gives error 1007.
I surfed around a bit on the internet, but I didn’t managed to get a solution for it :expressionless:
I really want to have openSuse on my laptop, but deleting windows isn’t an option due my studies…
my specs of my computer are:
Latitude D830
2GB RAM
42.1GB free space

thanks in advance

From the CD boot to desk top open a console. become root with
su -
then
fdisk -l
note lowercase L not a one

I managed to solve this, by going in my Windows, create a partition for Linux and let it install in there. it didn’t throw any errors anymore. from other posts I read I learned I have to mark this thread as solved now? how do I do this then? :slight_smile:
thanks for your help though, I really appreciate it

I do not know from which posts you learned to mark a thread as solved. Because that is not done here otherwise then that you tell you are satisfied, which you did.

Enjoy openSUSE.
