This does not sound like the usual problem of not being able to boot into
another OS because grub.conf doesn't have the entry. If you can see the files
that are in the 93 GB partition, my best recommendation is to copy them to
some external medium. Doing this by a connection to another computer via
network, directly to an external HDD or burning them to DVDs would work. Then
reformat that 93 GB partition and reinstall Windows. Then after Windows is
reinstalled, insert your SUSE install disc and repair the GRUB bootloader as
Windows automatically and always overwrites any other bootloader in the MBR.
Then your computer should be able to boot both OSes, provided that you don't
accidentally overwrite your SUSE install while reinstalling Windows- that is
the default behavior...
