Hello isawad, welcome to the openSUSE Forums 
Just a 2 penny comment: 10.2 isn’t nearly as good as 11.0 (KDE3.5 or Gnome, not KDE4) but I’m sure you have your reasons.
If shrinking is needed to make space, you should defrag the NTFS drive/s before you do the installation. If you didn’t then go back and defrag first. If you still get that message – call back.
Another comment: if shrinking a windows drive is involved – be sure to back up the data first.
Cheers
