installation of suse 9.1 on tri-boot machine

ok. i am brand new to linux. fresh off the boat. i downloaded suse 9.1 burnt to cd and tried to install while inside window xp pro (bad idea), had to reinstall windows. messed up mbr i think. i am currently running server 2003 and xp pro on first and second partitions of my 1st harddrive.  the rest of the space on the drive is empty.  i know i have to use a different file system for linux like ext3 or (forgot what other one was called).  i really need a step by step explaination of how to install, what install options i should use, etc.  I am not installing it for any specific reason, just to learn linux.  I think i used lilo as the boot loader(probably the source of my problems).  also i am set on using suse, not another version. thanks for the help in advance.

also, i have 2 hard drives -- could use other for linux if need be.  I also have an asus motherboard -- heard there were problems with windows/linux install.  I read another discussion about dual suse 9.1/windows install and i sort of followed it but i would like a solution the will work the first time without have to repair windows.
