you'd use the Windows multibooter to access Linux.

In a way this is exactly what he wants to do. He wants to install
Windows on a new "clean" drive without destroying his Linux install. OK,
unplug the Linux drives. Install Windows. Plug in the Linux drives. Boot
to Linux. Run the boot loader configuration and set it up to boot the
Windows drive as a choice.
At least that's the way I understand his situation.
Alternatively, IF he has a boot loader already in his bios he won't need
to set up anything after the Windows install. Simply use the built in
boot loader to boot whichever drive has the OS he wants to boot.
OR
He could use a third party boot loader, outside the normal operating
systems, to boot whichever drive he wants at startup.
Actually, couldn't be simpler.
