dual boot w/ 2nd HDD

Comment:

Hello, Quick question. A friend of mine needs to keep Windows 98 for a couple of reasons, so I want to set up a dual boot system with XP. The PC already has 98 installed. Rather than going through the hassle of saving data, repartitioning, ect, I want to know if I can just add a 2nd HD, and install XP on that new drive, which would be "D", install XP on "D", and would that work and automatically create a boot menu so they can choose which OS to boot to? Anything I should know? This should work, am I correct? Thanks!
