Adding Windows 2000 into a dual-boot after the fact?

I have a nice, well-running, well behaved Fedora installation. I'm
thinking of buying Windows because I need to learn ASP.NET and Mono, for
all that it does well, has some shortcomings. Plus there's no good
editor for ASP.NET. Anyway, that's the "why would you want to do this"
part. As far as how I would do it, I have a second hard drive. I think I
can just install the second hard drive with Windows and then point Grub
at that drive as a possible boot point. Is that true? Or will Windows
want to erase the MBR of HDA and thus this won't be possible at all
unless I swap the places of the hard drives and reinstall GRUB onto the
new HDA?

Either way, I'd like to do this (assuming I even choose to do it) in a
fashion that doesn't ruin my Linux install.
