Use the SuSe DVD and repartition the drive in Windows format. Windows will then be able to see the drive.
Alternatively use windows and repartion the SuSE drive with NTFS. Windows will then be able to use the space that you created where SuSE was residing.
That woks as long as you also rewrite the MBR to remove GRUB. If you wipe the partition that has Linux on it without also removing GRUB, your computer will not be bootable until you find a way to rebuild the MBR (personal experience speaking). GRUB will fail with an error about missing partitions, and you won't get as far as the selection menu.
Boot to windows first, and set the windows partition active. Reboot to show that it no longer works via GRUB, and repartition as above. I think that should work. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Windows installation disk should be able to restore the MBR also. You did buy a computer that comes with MS installation disks, didn't you? Not one of those that just has some reastore image or in the worst case, nothing...
