I don't know what you need to do from Yast. From the first screen you posted, though, I'd click on "WINDOWS Other /dev/sda1" and click Edit. Then look for some sort of chain loader option to select. If you post the edit screen, I might be of more help. Alternatively, if you post your grub (/boot/grub/menu.lst) or lilo (/etc/lilo.conf) configuration file, we could probably tell you how to fix it. Your system looks ok from what I can see. Just need to get the boot loader configuration straightened out.
