Followed the sequence.. Went on for the install, the following probs crept up...
> For partitioning, I don't know hwat to do in the EXPERT PARTITIONING table..., because the YAST was unable to SHRINK WINDOWS...
> Now, should I sit to defragment my 40 GB hard disk ? ? ?

If u don't like to partition the drive manually during installation....do the following

* remove all files in the last partition ie.emptying the last drive. OR make more than 4 GB free space and defrag that drive .and go tothe Suse installation

u can use norton partition magic (previously powerquest) to resize an existing partition. For installing SuSE u only need 2GB+space. But it is recommended to free a 4GB+space (incase u want to install other linux s/w or 3 or 4cd linux distributions ). Partition maigic will be availabe with ur friends or any computer hardware shop.( ofcourse may be pirated - u only need the dos part)

when installation starts it can automatically arrange ur free space. or for better efficiecy try like this.
/boot - 75 MB (MAX or 15 Mb min)
linux swap - 400 MB
/home - 1 GB (Here u store all of ur data. when u go for a reinstall, u dont need to format it sothat all data will be safe - u may skip it also).
/ all the remaining spaces.

delete one of your partitions, then try installing suse
