Description Forgotten User --EoyBps8f 2005-08-12 13:12:35 UTC

I had a corrupt partition-table on one drive. Yast told me that I could not 
edit any partitions, just use them. To solve the issue I could also delete the 
partition-table of that drive. 
I chose to do so and there were no errors, yet the partitions were not 
deleted. I had to use SuSE 9.3's Yast to execute the functionality, which 
worked and deleted all partitions of that drive. 
 
Expected behaviour would be to either throw an error, or even better, delete 
the partition-table.

Please provide Installation logs as mentioned in the previous bug #104384
(The behavior could be connected with it too)

Please evaluate.
If you can't do anything without logs, just close it, Beta1 is too old.

AFAIK there were problems in deleting partiton table in beta#1, please retry
with beta#4 and newer and reopen if the problem still exists.
