I'm sure in the process of installing Suse, it will provide me a boot
utility that will allow me to choose what OS to boot into. Is there any
way to revert back to exactly how it was before installing Linux without
reinstalling windows? I know I can go the floppy route, but I don't use
floppy drives in any of my computers.

Thanks,

There's no use being pessimistic. It probably wouldn't work anyway.

Sure - restore the saved boot segment. It's only about 400 bytes long.
You'll find it on your disk ...

Hi,

you can defenitly make your bootloader load both OSes (lilo/grub). If you
don't want to change your bootsector, do the following with lilo:
1. Make lilo write the boot sector in a file
boot=/home/username/bootsec.lin
2. start MS
3. copy bootsec.lin to c: (on a fat parition, you can do this from Linux,
using NTFS->copy the bootsec.lin to a floppy and use MS)
4. edit boot.ini:
add->c:\bootsec.lin="LILO" to the bottom line
5. done. When you boot the next time, your ntloader will give you the option
to start lilo. To get rid of the changes, just delete the last line you
added in boot.ini on your MS system.
