Isn't it SUSE 9.1? Linux 2.6 kernels started to report bogus disk
geometries thus some unadjusted partitioning tools create bad partition
table resulting unbootable Windows. 

Known distros having this problem sometimes (depends on BIOS, etc) are 
SUSE 9.1, Mandrake 10 and Fedora 2. Often setting LBA mode in the BIOS 
can help.

If you do have SUSE 9.0 then please see
