Hi,
Even though I am not a linux expert I have recently performed the two
kinds of installations and the workstation installation will not damage the
windows hardrive, unless you specify that you want linux to be installed
there. Moreover the only thing that linux do in the first hd ,is to put
lilo
there (the windwos one) but it does not damage the windows installation in
any way.

PS: I apologise for the latter HTML version.
