I'm running 9.1 pro and 9.1 personal and they both ask you to create a name and password. I'm assuming that 9.3 does the same and you probably missed it. I installed Windows first on the entire HD and let SuSE shrink the partition for me. - I had it split the HD 50/50 - of course if you are proficient with Partition Magic go ahead and use it. I can only assume that if your CD is good you must have done something wrong. However, having said that, and never having installed 9.3, maybe it has a bug in it. You can look here in the SuSE forum for more information
