Second Hard Drive

[newbie]

I had posted this before also, but due to some foolishness of mine seem to
have lost the replies.
I would like to have solution for the following problem of mine.
I am having windows XP pro in my computer.
My HDD is partitioned in the following manner.
C: 20 GB, D:10 GB and E:10 GB
Now I would like to install Windows98SE and Linux OS in my computer.
I would like to install these two OS in another hard drive if possible.
I don't want to install them in my present hard drive.
Will I encounter any problem if I install them in separate hard drive than
the existing one.
I will be very much thankful if you advice me how do I go about it

Get a third-party boot manager that can manage this for you. It should
work without problems with such software.

Not at all no problem. Use the bios options to boot from the new drives.
This keeps
the OS's independent of the other OS's on the pc.
