Let me check if I understood correctly ... you have now a master disk
with suse and a slave disk with XP, and you want to boot with grub, if
so ... is simply as map the secondary device as a primary device, so
windows will think it's on the first disk.
For instance:

title Windows
    map (hd1) (hd0)
    map (hd0) (hd1)
    rootnoverify (hd1,0)
    chainloader (hd1,0)+1

where hd1 is the slave (XP device) disk and hd0 the suse disk.

hope it helps
