well - i have a DOS/MBR partitioned disk.
besides that we can raise the question: Why only one Primary(Extended) partition covering the whole drive, and the rest Logical partitions?
i could have 4 Primaries: It makes more sense to have 3 Primary partitions and make the 4th an Extended for additional partitions,
all of those (in the 4th Extended) as Logical partitions.
regarding the a DOS/MBR partitioned disk:
i try to erase a DOS/MBR partitioned disk. this - how
a. with gparted or with
b. the dvd that contains version 13.2
Love to hear from you
btw - how to size the partitons -
note: i do not need to run a second operation system
i only want to have opensuse 13.2
so i can use the whole space for opensuse 13.2
how to proceed?
