This isn't what you want, but it's what I would do.
1) Install both drives in the box, 20G /dev/hda, and 6G /dev/hdb
2) Boot to DOS floppy w/fdisk and create a 1 or 1.5 G FAT(32) partition.
3) Install Windows
4) Install Linux, partition as desired on the big disk.
5) Select LILO in the boot record. Mark the DOS partition as bootable.
6) Reboot to both OSes to test
7) Use DOS fdisk to carve out a big chunk of the 6G disk for all Win
games/apps.
(I would also put my Linux swap partition on the second disk for better
performance.)
Good luck.
Why do you want to keep them totally separate?
