I noticed OEM Win8.1 has a couple of extra, new partitions. The first partition on my HD calls itself a recovery partition (400MB), the second one is a FAT EFI partition (260MB), then the windows partition (650GB), then the real recovery partiton (24GB, which I copied and removed, but it left behind a 450MB partition I can't seem to get rid of).
I made some room after the win partition by shrinking it (in the windows partitioner) and tried a normal 13.1 install, but the YaST partitioner complains my setup (swap, /, and /home; all EXT4) won't work because - something about the FAT EFI partition. I've never seen this before, even on Win7. Also, I guess extended partitions are gone? (used to be a 4 partition limit unless you put the extra s in an extended partition)
