This is all handled transparently by the SuSE installation process.
Just check that you want XFS for all your linux partitions, tell hit
by how much you want it to shrink your win partition, and let it go.
It installs all the appropriate loader info in the right places and
sets up the config files to allow booting into win or lin.
It's so simple, even my mom could do it. Perhaps you are using
a more primitive Distro? :-)
