Everything I've read on the subject is consistent that
Windows bootloader wants Windows installed first on the primary drive.
If you do that, then install just about any of the current distros on the other drive/partition(s)
tell grub (my preference) to install on the primary mbr.
The grub configuration tool, during install, lets you pick which os is the default if no menu select is done.
I've had it work successfully with Suse, Mandrake, Ubuntu and Fedora Core 4. (The last two on laptops!)
If you later remove linux, resetting the mbr back to its Windows state is just fdisk mbr from the command line on a Windows boot.
