Are you sure the cable supports 1Gbps and if you are thinking that having a connection speed of 1Gbps will speed up the internet connection it won't (for a home connection). Are you part of a network? I doubt your internet connection will be above 1ooMbps so I don't think …

That is business GB compared to Computer GB. 1,000,000,000 bytes is one Gigabyte. You hardrive should have about 500,000,000,000 bytes. But Windows calls a Gibibyte a Gigabyte. A Gibibyte is 1,073,741,824. So there appears to be a loss in space. This may be confusing but [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte#Gigabytes_vs._gigabits"]this[/URL] may help explain better.

Can't you configure the grub manually. I know OpenSuse lets you configure the GRUB. If you install this "belinux" you may be able to reconfigure the grub and reformat the partition if it goes wrong. But I think the GRUB should pick up the old boot paths.
