Figure 1.7:
Resizing the Windows Partition
If you leave this dialog by selecting Next, the settings are stored and you are returned
to the previous dialog. The actual resizing takes place later, before the hard disk is for-
matted.
IMPORTANT: Writing on NTFS Partitions
By default, the Windows uses the NTFS le system. openSUSE includes read
and write access to the NTFS le system, but this feature has a few limitations.
This means that you cannot read or write encrypted or compressed les. Fur-
thermore, the Windows le permissions are not honored at the moment. See
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NTFS for more information.
1.10.2 Custom Partitioning
Set up your own partitioning scheme by selecting Create Partition Setup and then
Custom Partitioning. The Expert Partitioner opens, displaying the current partition
setup. Expand the Hard Disks in the System View pane by clicking on the +, then click
on one of the listed hard disks. Now you can Add, Edit, Resize, or Delete partitions.
For more information about custom partitioning and conguring advanced features,
