Hi,
    If you use Lilo as your boot manger you will be able to use each
disk as a seperate system.

Linux doesn't read the disks as C D etc but as hda hdb etc inluding the
windows disk, when you boot Windows It will recognise only the disk it
is on and will read it as C or D depending upon how many partitions.
