Simply install windows as normal, then install SuSE, the SuSE installler
will automatically make a re-partioning suggestion, which unless you have
any objections then leave it be. The installer will then shrink the
windows partion to make room for SuSE and add the windows partition to the
Linux boot manager (grub).

PS.
It's a good idea to send plain text emails rather than HTML to mailing
lists, HTML emails are usually passed through the list moderator for
approval and may not render correctly on some mail clients as well as
being considerably larger than a plain text message. If you are using
outlook, put sderby in as a contact and in the contact details there
should be a check box that says "this user prefers plain text" or words to
that effect, just make sure this option is turned on.
