I got that right then :-)

This is the crux of the problem, I don't know why and I cant explain it but 
its as though 9.2 has a new way of formating, its the only way I can explain 
it. When I put 9.2 on (clean install) it refused to read/write to the two 
13GB partions (Reiserfs) and a 10GB partition (FAT32), under Windows using 
Partition Magic everything seemed fine as I didn't have anyting of value on 
the 10GB partition I reformatted with Partition Magic as FAT32 quick change 
back into Suse but no joy, OK I thought lets have a go with Suse's 
partitioner did the same as I did from Windows and hey presto it worked so I 
copied the stuff on the two 13GB partions from Partition Magic went back to 
Suse and did the same procedure as I had done with the FAT32.

Now its either witchcraft or as I said before some special idiosyncracy known 
only to Suse 9.2
