SuSE parted problem

Hello,

So, I burned the 5 cds of SuSE 10.1, and would really like to begin installation.

But when I get to the partitioning phase, I get an error message saying the first hard drive is unreadable by parted, and that I'll have to use Yast instead. It also tells me I wont be able to move delete create etc. partitions, just format.

The device I'm talking about is a Samsung SP0411N, and has an NTFS from the beginning, and 7.8GB of unformatted space at the end.

BTW, the installer detects my other drive wich is certainly great, but it is a 3.8GB one, and slow as hell, so it won't do.

Any help much appreciated!

NAME

       smpppd - SuSE Meta PPP Daemon

DESCRIPTION

       smpppd is a daemon that controls several internet connections.

       Use  a  frontend  like cinternet , qinternet or kinternet to control the connections and retrieve status informations.  Those frontends can
       also run on different hosts.

       The configuration of the dialup connections is done by YaST2 but there are some additional options available in the file /etc/smpppd.conf.

       smpppd is not intended for direct use.  Use rcsmpppd instead.

OPTIONS

       These options are recognized by smpppd.

       --detach
	      Detach from the controlling terminal.  This is the default.

       --nodeatch
	      Don't detach from the controlling terminal.

       -d, --debug
	      Turn on debugging.

       --version

       --help Show help information and exit.

BUGS

SIGNALS

FILES

       /etc/smpppd.conf
	      Basic configuration.

       /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-*
