Want my honest opinion on this. If its possible reinstall windows on the 1st drive just as your normally would. Then when you are finished with that install. Install SuSe on the hdb drive when installing SuSe. It will ask what boot loader you want to use and where you want to put it. Use the Grub bootloader (I find it easier to use). Then make sure you have it so that it can boot to windows. Have the boot loader installed on the HDA HDA HDA drive or this won't work at all. Once that is installed it should give you the GRUB bootloader menu when your computer boots up. And give choices of Windows or Linux.
At least thats what mine has always done and I've used about 20 different distributions doing it and never had a problem.
The key is to install Windows 1st and Linux 2nd.
XP will not install unless I repartition the disk, which I assume means it will wipe out 40GB of progs and data that will probably take me days or weeks to reinstall.
