Your  Suse  install  CD  (no  1)  or  DVD  contains a rescue  system.

After installing, XP it will wipe out your grub boot loader,  but it should
not be an unsolvable problem.  After installing XP then go to boot from the
Suse CD (DVD) and select install, then select your timezone, keyboard,
language, etc.  At one point before the main installation screen you will
see a menu that gives you the option to repair an existing installation.
You should be able to select your installed suse system.  You are given
options to repair a variety of parts of the system.  If everything was
working before you can deselect everythingj except reinstalling grub the
boot loader.  There are other ways, but I find that this system provided by
SuSE works very well for me.  Gustav
