You can't. The iMac only supports a single internal hard disk.

You can remove the small old internal hard disk and replace with a bigger internal hard disk. You don't need 2 hard disk in an iMac. You can add external hard disk.

Any IDE hard drive will work as a
replacement. Plenty of WWW sites have
info on doing the upgrade; just google for
it.

If you ever decide to run OS X on it, you'll
need to make sure OS X is installed on a
partition that fits entirely in the first 8GB of
the drive.
