Yes, it's true. I have a 40GB hard disk.
I want to add another 40GB to install Window
After i plugged my second hard-disk, and reboot,
OpenSuse will detect this unpartitioned and unformatted
disk... I suppose that OpenSuse ask me for partionning
this New disK... automatically?
The goal reached by this new disk is when OpenSuse
boot, he will ask me to choose;
1-Open Suse
2-Failsafe Suse
3-Windows
Is it possible... in that way?

It is possible that way, but it is not automatic. You have to set it up. After you boot opensuse, it will not automatically offer to partition it for you. You will have to do that your self using a tool like Gparted. The disk will be associated with a device file, e.g. if your current disk is /dev/sda, the new one will be /dev/sdb. Open a root console and type "fdisk -l /dev/sdb".
Your boot menu is something you will have to set up by adding entries to /boot/grub/menu.lst.
After you set up windows on the second drive you can add the following entry to menu.lst:
title = windows
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
root (hd1,0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
