I have one HD with seven partitions :

C: = Win98
D: = WinXP (Working)
E: = archives
F: = WinXP (Test)
G: = empty, size is 5 Gb
H & I = archives

Now, when I boot my PC, I have boot menu offering choice between :
1 - Win98, 2 - WinXP (Working) and 3 - WinXP (Test)

I want to install Suse 9.1 Pro on partition G:
What's the easiest way to do that, without ruining my current boot-menu ?
I want if it's possible, to add Suse as choice # 4 in my boot menu.
How do I do that, I'm a total linux noob ?!
I don't wanna mess with master boot record, but if it's an easiest way
just tell me to know that ... thanks in advance
