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.
