Open your BIOS and set your CD drive as the first bootable device,
insert the Windows Server 2003 CD in the drive and boot from it.
You'll be given a choice of which drive to install Server on, so make
sure to select your slave drive. A dual-boot loader will automatically
be installed. Essentially, follow the procedure is this article:
