I'd hesitate to do  that, cause Windows might not want to boot off of the
second drive...  Might work, though.
Personally, I have a 2 gig drive with Win95 (and NT) on it, as /dev/hda.  Lilo
is setup in the bootsector of this drive.  Linux is on /dev/hdc, with / as
either hdc1 or hdc2, depending on what dist I am running.
(hdc1 is redhat, hdc2 is experimental stuff)
