    we need a little more info.
    is Windows booting up? which boot loader have you installed? what error message Boot Loader throws on selecting SuSe?

    did you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst file? boot up in Rescue Mode and post the contents of menu.lst file here.

    NO. you can't regenerate menu.lst file. you have to add entries manually.
    post output of fdisk -l and contents of menu.lst file here.
