You might try this configuration

title WinDoze
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

Additional comments integrated into your config file below.  It might help
if you include information about your version of windows, version of grub,
version of linux kernel, version of SuSE, etc.

### Not familiar with gfxmenu, and couldn't find a ###

### splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splashimage_640x480_14colours.xpm.gz ###

initrd (hd0,0)/initrd

### The above sure assumes a LOT of extras ###
### Like bootsplash from bootsplash.de ###
### Like a frame buffer console ###
### Even ACPI suspend from acpi.sf.net which also assumes a 2.6.x kernel ### 
### And an initrd ramdisk image ###
