Multiboot problems


I have spent the last couple of months with a whole 120GB hard drive dedicated to SuSE 9.1 pro, for my school coursework I require I microsoft office for the visual basic capabilities. I thought, rather than mucking about with Wine, I would re partition my drives to accomodate windows... so i split it 50 - 50, so i could get a few games on aswell. The partitioning goes well, as does the installation of the beastly software, and SuSE of course. When I come to boot, all I get is the word GRUB in the top left hand corner of the screen... This only appears when I try to multi boot the operating systems. Does anyone know how to avoid this GRUB disaster, I've tried everything I can think of.
Any suggestions guys?
Thanks in advance,
Craig

while installing before reboot it gives you option to go to YAST.
Do it to change your boot

Assuming you are using Windows XP, there is a sticky thread called FAQ: SuSE 9.1/Windows XP Dual Boot at the very top of this section. Have you seen it?
Just a thought
