I run openSUSE 12.2 on my ASUS N76VZ laptop. My problem is that I cannot alter the partition table of first hard disk /dev/sda1.

YaST partitioner says it's unreadable, but actually it can read it but not alter it. It doesn't tell me anything else, except that I can wipe the partition table (having to reinstall Windows for the third time).

Since I want to create new partitions on that disk, how do I fix the partition table layout?

I could create new partition from Windows Computer Management and format them in Linux. I could do this, but it doesn't explain the problem
