Having another free harddrive is perfect, your installation will be simple. As, for dual booting, just be sure you say 'yes' when it asks whether you should install LILO.

You have already provided the answer to your question, because having an extra hard disk drive will save you a lot of trouble. During install, follow Tux's advice and install LILO on the MBR    

Have fun!
