Just install Mandrake 8.2 upon your new drive. For what I know, the installation program will automatically detect the presence of another OS and - along the way - offer you the choice to boot one or the other as default. In your case - having two discs - it's not even necessary to re-partition anything. Eventually you can use the Mandrake Control Center (as root) to adjust things later on. Most problems with dual-booting stems from another scenario : installing a real OS alongside a bogus one. Enjoy ! - But why on earth do you want two real OS's ?
