Installation problem

[baLnCe]

Hello,

i have as main OS, opensuse 11.3 i have 2 different HD for the main os, my problem is that i have a 3rd HD and i want to put windows 7 not dual booting but in a whole different disk and then when i choose to enter to windows i will choose from boot menu.

So i connect the HD 500gb to my system then i enter the disk and format & delete the content and when i make the partition (100gb for C:\ where i want to put my system) is shows me an error.

"setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition see the setup log for more information"

and i cannot install it.. And when i search for that error in the google i see some possible answer but i dont know how can work on me in that i wanna do..

Any ideas, thoughts

Thanks in advance..!

Did you unplug the other hard drives before installing win7?

I believe what he meant was you didn't unplug all the others and make the Seven drive your master beforehand.

You fucked up GRUB. You'll need to reinstall it.

i am thinking i will download and burn live cd of my linux os and i will install again grub and all good.. the think that system confused when i unplug it.. the drivers (sda,sdb,sdc) etc.. so i need to install again!

Some BIOS will instead of booting in a specific order, will allow you to select the device at startup. Try selecting that, it might just make life easier.
