If you have a Windows XP CD, you can boot off of it and use the Recovery 
Console to run fixmbr.

SUSE 9.1 uses 2.6 kernel, right?  Does it have the same problem with 
partition tables and drive geometry that other 2.6 based installers do 
(FC2 for example)?  In this case you probably didn't make any changes to 
the main disk's partition table so it shouldn't be a problem but it may 
be something to keep in mind if the fixmbr doesn't work.  (It really 
messed me up recently, with Debian.)
