Yeah, I've got that figured out but my question I'm having is will linux
just ignore the second drive when it is missing or will it hiccup because it
expects a drive (in the bay) when it's not there?
Windows doesn't care, I can pull out the drive and put it back in (rebooting
of course) and it always handles it ok. Will linux do this too? Do I have
to manually mount and unmoun the drive each time?

You need two bays : one for Linux and one for Windows, { presume you also
have a cdrom, that makes a total of three 5 .25 inch bays }. Your computer
case may not have the space needed, here is the fun comes in : connect the
C: drive and the cdrom to the first IDE connector, connect second harddisk
ribbon cable to the second IDE connector 'snake' the cable through a port
hole outside the case, connect the cable to the bay; do the same to the
power cable for the bay. In case you do not follow what I said, mail me
out side the list. HTH
