Thanks for the response. I am using the Partitioning Tool in the
install DVD. I used to remember an easier time several years back when
using Madriva.Their Partition Manager was the best I have ever seen. I
wonder if there is a rescue disc which could clean up this mess?
I have no experience at all about OpenSuse, but I think any live distribution allows you to handle such a thing. Once you have a terminal, you can do almost whatever you want.
Just as an example, I have more expirience with the Ubuntu family tools.
