The best way is to use partition magic, and make the drive that you want to install a PRIMARY drive by reformating it as a primary drive. Then you need to use FDISK to set the new partition active and boot with a 98 start up disk, format /s to put the system files on the drive, then reboot and run fdisk to set the old operating system active. Then install boot manager and add the new drive to the list of bootable drives. Then boot into the new partiton and install!!
Have fun
