I have created partitions. I "fixed" Windows after using gparted to create the partition spaces so that it boots.
Why don't you just install Windows 7 first and let SuSE 12.2 decide afterwards how to handle the partitions and Windows 7 with dual boot? I never used gparted to partition a dual boot system from the beginning. I only used it to migrate a dual boot system to a larger harddisc and I remember that this was not easy. First when I install Windows 7 I allow it to only use a certain smaller part of the complete harddisc/ssd space. When Windows 7 is completely installed, I reboot and install SuSE most of the time from a DVD and let it use the larger rest of the HDD/SSD. SuSE uses the rest of the harddisc accordingly and installs the corresponding dual boot (e.g. via GRUB). Maybe gparted and the Windows-fixed is the problem in your case.
