OpenSUSE Install :: Exchange XP With Windows 7?
Mar 12, 2010
I successfully installed OpenSuse 11.2 64bit with XP 64bit.
Well what I want to do is to exchange XP with Windows 7 64bit. I read other threads where someone describes that he had a virus on his XP partition and had to re-install XP. In this case the recommendation was to install XP again and then just repair grub.
Is it really just that easy? I am doubting that things will go so smoothly? I checked the bootloader; does it help to note the settings and re-enter them after the installation?

According to gparted I have a few unallocated partition. How do I make use of them? If create a new partition should i use ntfs format or ext3 format? If I use one type, the other OS cannot read the other.

I got the impression after attending a LinuxCon session that Exchange 2007 support in Evolution was a solved problem in SUSE. Is the same true in openSUSE 11.3? What packages do I need to install to enable Exchange email/calendar/contact sync in Evolution? And does it depend on IMAP?

I installed opensuse in my laptop in which I already installed opensuse.Now the grub shows first, on boot up. I want to set windows bootloader in front. In order to do that, I did the following,
1. unmount all devices "umount /windows/*"
2. my hard disk partition:- see the link cfdisk /dev/sda | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
3. mount the C drive (where win 7 is installed)
"ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /mnt/windows -o force "
4. dd if=/dev/sda8 of=/mnt/windows/suse.bin bs=512 count=1
5. kwrite /mnt/windows/boot.ini and write the following,
[boot loader]
timeout=15
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)c: suse.bin
[operating systems]
c: suse.bin="openSUSE"
6. change the boot to sda3 using "sudo /sbin/cfdisk /dev/sda"
Problem is,
now windows bootloader shows when boot up, showing two options,
windows
openSUSE
windows option works normally; but openSUSE option doesn't work.

When sending an HTML formatted email with KMail and viewing this email on an MS Exchange Outlook client, all the empty lines are removed. This appears to be a known issue (KMail & HTML. - KDE Community Forums), but I was hoping anyone here knows a workaround for this....?
This is REALLY annoying when using KMail in a business setting, since emails look embarrassing on a customer's email client (which is in 99% of the cases Outlook, I'm afraid).

I want to dual boot openSUSE 11.2 and Windows 7. I already have Windows 7 installed but I have encountered multiple issues in the past with trying to make dual boots. Usually when I install Linux, GRUB decides it wants to go into world domination mode, and "breaks" my Windows installation. I have reason to believe this is because the distros I use come with legacy GRUB, (v0.97) and for some odd reason it lacks commands such as "update-grub" etc. This means I cannot add Windows 7 to the boot menu without going into extreme complications, which have NEVER, I repeat NEVER succeeded. When I boot the Windows drive directly, I get some error about GRUB not finding the device, and it puts me into a grub rescue command line. Now I am no expert in this field at all, but wouldn't that mean that GRUB wrote itself to the MBR of...oh I don't know, ALL of my hard drives? I really want to install openSUSE 11.2, but from bad experience I am really put off as I know that it ships with legacy GRUB v0.97.I am also running Fedora 13 at the moment, I have quite an experimental dual boot running..been trying to get GRUB 2 for hours now, it is definitely there but no commands work, "upgrade-grub-from-legacy" and "update-grub" return with command not found. I've heard this is just a bug but can anybody confirm that there will definitely be a way for me to "fix" my windows installation after it gets "broken" by GRUB?Second idea, unplug my windows hard drive while openSUSE installs?

right now, my machine runs ubuntu 10.10 due to work issue, i need to use windows server 2008 R2 (its a windows exclusive company) but i never used any of the active directory or anything from the windows server (only experience with windows is visual studio and those GAMES!), so i figure i need to practice a bit on my own b4 starting the job and just at the same time I found out as a univ student i get it for free! And plus, I am finding opensuse a better option for me than ubuntu So im wondering what i should do regarding these 2 systems here s some option
1). Install openSuse 11.4, and install VirtualBox and use windows server 2008 R2 on vbox
2). Install windows server 2008 R2 and then install openSuse alongside with it
3). Install windows server 2008 R2 and install openSuse in virtualBox
I have been using linux as my primary OS for more than a year now and I rlly need it for both school and my own entertainment. So wondering which option would best work out for me
wat are your opinions? PS: my machine is about 2 years ago a Dell laptop, with core 2 duo p8700 (2.53ghz) 4GB ram, and nvidia gfx, which even tho is still fast, but isnt rlly that snappy when it comes to virtualization even running xp in a virtual machine is quite laggy at times :S

ere's my issue I've got an 80GB SATA drive and a 320GB IDE drive, I've already installed Windows 7 on the SATA drive. 80 is too small (in my opinion) to dual boot openSuse and Windows 7. Can someone explain me how to use a partition from the 320 IDE to install openSuse, and how to setup grub so I wouldn't have any problems booting to Windows?

Currently I am running a dual boot with Windows 7 and openSUSE 11.3. Windows has two partitions, one for the system partition and another for the OS. I have 3 Linux partitions (swap, root, and home). Obviously I am running GRUB to boot, but this seems to be impacting my ability to install Windows 7 SP1. I would like to revert back to the Windows boot loader, install the Service Pack, and then revert back to GRUB. How do I do this?

I have installed openSuse 11.4 and works perfectly. The main problem is, I have another system on my HD, Windows XP, and unable to boot to my XP system. If I choose Windows on Grub menu, its just show me the same text as in the menu.lst at Windows' section. I am able to boot in Windows, by adding 'makeactive' but then, I unable to see the grub menu. And to boot to oS again, I must insert DVD installer and made an update. How tiring.

I am almost newbie at Linux OS, but I want to install openSUSE. Unfortunately I have some programs which probably will not work on Linux, so I want to have a Windows 7, just in case. I will partition my 250 GB HDD as follows:
1. openSUSE partition/s (... GB)
2. Windows 7 system partition (100 MB)
3. Windows 7 partition (30 GB)
4. My files' partition (the rest unallocated space) - I wish both OS's to read this partition, that's why it will be NTFS.
I would like to know how many and how big the openSUSE partition/s should be. Could it be installed on one partition, or it requires separate swap, root, etc. ones?Does those NTFS partitions slow down openSUSE?

I am building a "Windows-less" HD (no versions of MS Windows). I have acquired the first of two 500GB Seagate Momentus drives for this purpose. The Seagate was selected because the drive being replaced is the exact same geometry, however the new drive is 7200rpm vs 5400rpm. If this process is successful, I may repeat with an SSD. The current drive is partitioned as follows:

Most of the time when I install XEN on openSUSE 11.1 and SLES 11, the XEN kernel starts in a terminal rather than with X Windows. I have installed XEN during initial installation and with Yast after installation, both directly on the hardware and in Hyper-V. Does anyone know why this occurs?I don't have this problem with SLES 10. I am too frustrated to restart all the systems to provide exact details and hope this will be enough information. It is possible that it is related to the degree to which I performed online updates on the systems before installing XEN.

openSUSE, just installed 11.2 some days ago and have several problems with kernel 2.6.31 and my hardware, i was wondering if there is a way to upgrade it to version 2.6.32... that i know i dont have any problems with it.The problems that i have is with my ath9x driver, iv'e experience it before with other distros and the same kernel (2.6.31)Another question i have is about VirtualBox, i use it to run windows, and i'm amazed of the lack of speed and performance i have in openSUSE, i dont know if it's because i'm doing something wrong, quite possible since i'm not familiar with the -suse way- of using linux... i read the wiki about virtualbox made all that it's said (used OSE and non-OSE) and nothing changed... it's unusable. i used to use it in other distros with no problems, but in suse i have alot of issues.
apart from all the issues i have concerning speed and performance in openSUSE it's worth of a try.hope that configuring it better will speed up and increase performance.btw, i have a amd athlon x2 2.1ghz, ati radeon hd3200 using fglrx module and 4gb of ram.

Just acquired a new laptop, Gateway NV, i5-430, 4GB, 500GB HD, Intel GMA, and, of course, Windows 7. I wish to install openSUSE (as I have on my other laptops and boxes, with Windows/XP and (sigh..) one Vista). No problems with partitoning any of them, but I have not partitioned a Windows 7 HD.I do wish to keep Windows 7, but SUSE has become my primary OS. So the question is: do I use Windows 7 utilities to "shrink" its main partition and then install 11.3 ? Alternatively, I can use the 11.3 install DVD to do the "shrink". I have already run the install up to, but NOT INCLUDING the actual partitioning.Windows has commandeered the first three (3) primary partitions, so SUSE goes to an extended partition. Windows looks something like:
1: 12GB (Recovery Partition)2: 102 MB (System Reserved)3. 453GB Windows 7 primary partitionThe 11.3 install proposes reducing #3 (above) to 163GB and allocating the remaining to SUSE (swap, /, and /home). I will probably tinker with the sizes (I really do not need a 280BG /home), and I want some space for an alternate distro.Any and all advice on the partitioning choice(s) will be appreciated. I did also attempt "GParted" from the Ubuntu liveCD, but the only way to boot that liveCD was to use "-xforcevesa" and I was not completely confident of that!(Note: already created the "factory recovery" DVDs and the apps/drivers DVD. I may dry run them before I do the actual partitioning. There is no data or software on it.)

I'm running suse 11.3 gnome and it's running great but I need to boot into windows. I did have a windows partition on it but in my infinite wisdom a while back I tried to remove linux and thought I could just delete it.
I'm started getting a grub error 22 message and from reading forums it suggested fixing my mbr with windows recovery disk. I don't have that disk as it was pre-installed on my laptop. When I switch on my laptop listed is opensuse 11.3 and windows. When I click windows it tries to start fades and I get what looks like a blue screen with text but it's gone quickly.
Basically I can get into linux no problem but can't fix the windows partition. I wouldn't bother only college are insisting on a software which only runs on windows ArcGIS. Any suggestions to possible solutions or is it out to buy a new laptop?

Bought a new HP laptop for Christmas, with 500G HD. Thought I'd be able to use a chunk for OpenSUSE. Alas, HP has already created four partitions on the drive, so even though there's plenty of room, there's no space in the partition table. Has anyone else been through this? Which partition can safely be dumped to allow me to install OpenSUSE, and how could it be backed up, if necessary? Only one partition shows in Win, and the others don't seem to want to boot.
