Vista and Opensuse 11 are compatible. I am having this combination on my computer. Check bootloader configuration and hardware through yast.

When you installed OpenSUSE 11.0 on the second hard disk, did you flag the first partition as bootable? Where did you install GRUB, to first or second disk??

Put the openSUSE CD or DVD into the drive

In a terminal type

grub-install /dev/sda

and press ENTER.

Reboot and see
