I have been partitioning my HD lately, using PM.
Then used SUSE setup to create ext/reiser partitions.
The other day I opened Partition Magic8 from windows, and it said "The harddrives' LBA and CHS values are wrong. Do you want PartitionMagic to correct them?"
I clicked yes, and afterwards all partitions were displayed as 1 single partition labeled: "BAD"
Windows diskmanager and fdisk had no problems detecting all partitions on that particular drive.
Partition magic refused to make any changes to that entire HD. Format and delete were unavailabe.
This is just a warning: Don't click yes without knowing what you are doing.
I think SUSE somehow partitions the drive a different way.
