Disk/Boot Issues

Hello,

Last night I installed a second hard drive along with windows 7 and openSUSE. The Windows 7 partition consisted of one hard drive and openSUSE the other hard drive. Windows installed with no problems and booted and then openSUSE installed with no problems and booted. I restarted my computer to boot back to windows and windows kept auto restarting. I tried to turn off auto restart and see what error messages I was getting but it would still auto restart. I could still boot to openSUSE so I figured it might have been something odd with windows so I went to boot from the Windows 7 disc to reinstall. I couldn't get anywhere with the windows 7 disc so I tried to repartition the problematic hard drive using openSUSE, but that failed to work. I figured at this point that there must be something wrong with the hard drive so I ran a few diagnostic tools, such as badblocks, and they all told me the hard drive was in perfect working order. At this point I am lost about what to do next. It is very odd that windows 7 ran excellent last night for a few hours while I set up a few programs but as soon as I installed openSUSE I couldn't boot to windows. If anybody could offer me any insight about possibilities that I could try next to rectify the situation I would be really grateful.
