I've got a PC with Windows 98 installed on it.

I'd like to buy a second HD (because I don't wanna format my actual HD
to install both systems on it) and install Linux on it.

If I do so, can I boot from the HD dedicated to Windows OR the HD
dedicated to Linux.... Do I have the choice, or have I got to reinstall
my PC and make a startup menu that allows me to load Windows or Linux
????

Thx for the advice...
