It would work if I have Xp installed on my current HD and I installed a second, blank HD to install linux on?
I've never ran a duel boot setup with 2 HD's but i've done with 1 single one so i'm not sure how that works exactly with the boot loader... but your not going to hurt anything to instal linux on the second hd let the bootloader instal and give er a whirl! :-) not like you'll hurt your windows setup at all :-)..

Certain mobos will let you choose a boot drive on the fly... Mine for example when booting will let me hit a hotkey such as F8 then it'll ask me what device i want to boot from, real fast and simple.
