Move the windows hard drive to the secondary master. Put the new drive
as the primary master. Install linux, then setup lilo to boot either
linux or windows. No writes to the windows hard drive needed. I can
send the needed lilo config if you

I don't consider changing hardware addresses around as easy,

I ran a machine this way for almost a year. I originally had Win95 on
it. I put in a new hard drive and made it the primary master. I moved
the Win95 drive to be the secondary master. I set lilo up to boot linux
by default or windows if I typed win at the lilo prompt. It is

Yes, it's possible to boot linux from the second drive.
It will only modify the MBR on the 1st drive in a way which is perfectly
tolerable for W., if you choose to use lilo. If you are afraid of that,
you may choose using a boot diskette for linux, this time not touching
your primary hd at all.
I have Debian and Winbloze on my 2.0 gig hd just fine. The only problem
is, Winbloze will not see any partition that is not it's own format. When
you format a partition for linux, you will lose sight of that partition in
Win95. Linux, on the other hand, can see all partitions, so you can still
