also one hard drive is sata and the other is ide is this a problem or not

the reason why i want to do this is because i want to install games on one hhd and have the other hdd for college work etc.

If you install on 2 different HDs/partitions, the BOOT.INI which resides on the boot disk (determined by BIOS setting) will change to give you an option at boot time (before the Windows loading screen) which OS to choose

Yes you can. First change the drive label accordingly. To distinguish which OS install is which, you need to edit the BOOT.INI file. Its very simple (using Notepad), just Google it

By default, the main/first OS will boot in 30-seconds. Also that you can change or turn-off
