    Just do a fresh install of what ever operating system you want to install. When you delete the partitiions and format, Suse will be gone.

    Welcome to the forums!

    Yes, once you remove Suse the GRUB bootloader will no longer work, so you'll need to restore the Windows bootloader to your MBR. You can find some instructions for doing that on the Microsoft website. I believe the SuperGRUB disk still can install Windows bootloaders, too, if you'd rather go that route.

    If you google "fixmbr xp" you should get a lot of hits like the ones below:

    Master Boot Record - How To Repair the Master Boot Record In Windows XP - Fixmbr

    How to Repair Windows XP MBR | eHow.com

    If you don't have an xp disk, download the SuperGrubDisk suggested above which can repair the xp bootloader.

    As long as your machine supports boot from USB, yes.
