What about setting the mother board(that is if your motherboard will
allow you to boot off a second hard drive) to boot off the second hard
disk drive.
Then install linux on it and then it would install lilo/grub on that
hard drive thus you make no changes to the XP drive at all..

This conversation is becoming a little pointless.
