If you installed this linux yourself, and know how to install a hard
drive, its easy.
just use fdisk in linux to remove all the linux partitions from you
primary hard drive. (swap, primary) and any others you may have made.
Install the 2nd hard drive and make sure bios recognizes it. Put in your
linux boot disk and tell it to use your second hard drive to install.
usually /dev/hdb for an ide hard drive. No need to re-install windows since
its not going anywhere. Use a boot disk to run "fdisk /mbr" from a dos
prompt to get rid of lilo. Linux will reinstall lilo upon installtion.
good luck
