Answer
Two ways: First, you can install by removing the master drive and install the new program (OS) onto the second HDD as you would in the ordinary way.
Second, you can use XP boot program (WinXP_EN_PRO_BF; use search in microsoft website for this file; besure to choose either XP Pro. (assume XP Pro. will be sufficient for Vista) or Home Ed), download and extract the cabinet files and follow the instructions (you will need 6 floopy discs too, and the OS program and the rest will be done for you (format and all). During your reinstallation of the OS on your master HDD, there will be a screen to define where the new program (OS) to be installed, select the slave drive to install. WARNING: BE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR FILES (master HDD) JUST IN CASE THINGS DON'T GO THE WAY YOU WANT IT!!!!
PS: In my opinion, I don't think this is possible because the master HDD will be in conflict with the slave drive based on the OS at boot up.
A third option and best way would be that, you use XP on the master drive to install two OS. To do this just type in the search box of XP HELP AND SUPPORT; 'dual systems' and select 'Installing more than one operating system on your computer ' and follow the instructions to install on the master HDD. Thus leaves you with the spare HDD to do other things with. And at boot up after you have installed the second OS you can select which one you want to start up.
