I did this years ago with different versions of Windows and linux...I have

insert the opensuse DVD and restore my Linux system and KEEP XP/ vista?
Like having grub come up first, then if i choose windows, it will take me to
the Windows Bootloader?
Thanks

You can easily restore your previous GRUB setup:
1) boot any Live CD
2) from a terminal, run grub
3) grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 if you're not sure of the partition
4) grub> root (hdn,m) where n and m come from above
5) grub> setup (hd0) assuming you want MBR written to hda
6) grub> quit
7) reboot - your previous setup has been restored. you should be able to
add vista (though I'm not sure why you'd want to) to /boot/grub/menu.lst.
BTW it's a bit easier if you just save the MBR to a file using dd, do your
diddling and then restore MBR from the saved file (again, with any Live CD).
