Booting From IDE drive w/ SUSE 10.1

I have a computer with a SATA drive that boots windows XP. I have installed a
second HD that uses the IDE interface. When I run the installer it sees the
IDE drive as /dev/hdb and it is the same for gparted. After installing suse I
used the command
dd if=/dev/hdb1 of=/mnt/floppy/linux.bin bs=512 count=1
and set up windows xp boot.ini with the linux.bin
in the boot menu.

When I select linux.bin in the winXP boot menu I receive a
GRUB and the system hangs.

Does anyone know what the fix should be?
