Adding to this message, even if you have the original Suse CD, as long
as it's 10.1 or so, there is an option after the initial boot up from CD
that allows you to check your system, there in an option in there to
check grub and the system repairs it, only gotcha is that recreates the
menu.lst accordingly to the original and then if you had more than one
configuration it would erase, so make a backup of your menu.lst before
you go ahead with this.

Hello,
I have openSUSE setup right now on my machine that has 2 mirrored
80gb disks. I just got another disk 80gb disk but I would like to
install windows on it. My question is, is it possible to install
windows on that new disk without it taking off my grub? I know most
multiboot setups that include windows always say install windows first
then install linux so it can auto detect your windows partition and
setup grub accordingly but in my case I already have linux setup and
want to install windows while keeping suse's grub menu. Is this
possible and how?
You should be able to install Windows after Linux too, however it's easier,
more comfortable and safer, when you do it first. As I get from your
description, I can understand you didn't installed it in the first place, but
want to have it as alternative now.
When you install windows you can be sure it will screw up grub, in other words
kill and replace it, however this isn't such a big problem if you've a Linux
liveCD and can access the old system to re-do the grub install part, also
you'll have to add the windows boot entry by hand but that shouldn't be a big
deal either.
Greetings
Michael
