You may need to edit the grub bootloader in the Suse install. Suppose your FC7 partition is /mnt/hda6. Boot into Suse as usual. Look for a menu.lst file in /mnt/hda6/boot/grub/. There will be two entries in that file - one for Windows and the other for FC7. Copy the entry for FC7 into your /boot/grub/menu.lst file in the Suse partition leaving all other entries intact.

Post the mentioned files (menu.lst of FC7 and Suse) if you need more help or if it doesn't work.
