We could do with knowing if your BIOS is able to use USB as boot?
yes… i can boot from usb
Really, if openSUSE is already on the usb drive presumably you can boot it into openSUSE? Or is SUSE just installed there but you can’t boot it?
If you can boot it - then you have in effect dual boot. If you plug it in SUSE will boot. If you don’t plug it in - XP will boot.
If necessary, you might want to read this:

the way i boot the opensuse is very boring… i just change the hard disk every time i need opensuse…

When you installed Suse was the hdd connected to the motherboard or to usb ? What error does GRUB give when you select Suse ?
