OpenSUSE with triple boot XP/Vista partitions


On installing a dual boot XP/OS 11.2 on a 40GB HDD, I had no problems with the partitioning, but now I have installed XP (15GB) and Vista (20GB), the OS 11.2 setup insists on shrinking the Vista partition to 15GB and does not allow me to change this.

Have tried going into 'Create Partition Setup' and 'Custom Partition Setup' but can't seem to get Vista back to its original size. Any ideas?

No problems - resolved this myself. The installer kept the Windows Bootloader as well as GRUB and I was able to amend this through Create Partition Setup and selecting my HDD.

It divided OS 11.2 into '/' and 'swap', though I suppose it's possible to create a '/home' partition as well.
