 Convert a Windows system to dual-boot Linux on a second drive

 http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/02/15/2023237

 I was recently assigned the task of converting a system running Windows XP
 to dual-boot Windows and Linux. The user needed to run Windows most of the
 time, but occasionally needed to boot Linux to run special applications.

 The one overriding requirement was to change the existing Windows setup as
 little as possible. In this case, that meant adding a second hard drive.
 Easy enough, right? Well, not so fast.
