How to keep 2 OS clean separated

I need two OS on my computer ,e.g. win2000 and win98SE, other as a "playground", the other for just some serious apps that needs to be stable, clean and easy to re-install. they don't need to have any connection between their installed programs, just data on another hard drive.
what's the easiest/best/simplest way for this? two partitions, separate hard drive for each OS?

I believe the key is a small bootable primary partition. Then have two primary partitions the each house a OS. This way if one OS hoses itself you can still boot the other.
But if you want a totally seperate environment for each then see here http://www.computing.net/howto/simple/usingpqboot/
