    Is the hard disk you think of replacing the only one curently on your system?

    If so, obviously Grub will be gone with the old hard diks (but installed again
    when you re-install SUSE).

    *If* you currently have two hard disks (one for Windows and a second one for
    Linux which you want to replace), the Grub boot loader in the MBR of your
    first (Windows) hard disk should still be able to boot Windows but will not
    be able to install Linux from the new hard disk. But you could simply allow
    YaST to install grub again in the MBRof your first hard disk. YaST will offer
    this to you anyway.
