I have just upgraded a PC for a colleague, who, after much badgering and encouragement, conceded to have a dual boot install of OpenSUSE 10.3 on a second drive. Installed XP Pro on hd0, no problem.

Though I don't recall the exact details, I had a similar problem last year. IIRC, after booting with the CD and then boot installed system, I went into Yast and changed where Grub started the installed SUSE from. I think I had to specifiy the actual partition or something like that.
I ran into this not long ago. If I recall, the only thing required to fix it was to boot from the dvd, drop to a console as root and type
grub-install /dev/sda
reboot
