The following link should help you.
http://www.ntfs.com/mbr-damaged.htm
The Recovery Console will repair your MBR and you should be able to
start into WinXP again. After you confirmed that you can reinstall
GRUB again via the SuSE CD/DVD. Start with it and go into Repair
Mode. There will be an option to fix GRUB. Maybe you can try this
first, if it workes you will have saved some time.

If you speak German there is another link for you:

Good luck,
