grub is a bootloader. you must configure it so that at the bootup it recognizes the os'es installed on your pc and gives you a choice to boot into it. i use red hat and during the installation itself my grub got configured. about suse - i have no idea. ask the gurus here.

@ bernie : Boot into Linux using Knoppix. Look for grub.conf in /etc of your HD installation and post the contents here.
