You could take the current HD out and put it on a shelf, where it will be
safe while you try Linux. Once you have Linux (and maybe Windows,
DOS, Beos?) on the new HD, you can put the old HD back in, and set LILO
(the Linux boot loader) to give you the choice of booting up Win, Linux,
or Win on the old HD. Windows won't see the Linux partition (or the other
Windows partition, afaik), but Linux will be able to use all three.
