second operating sysyem

I want to add linus as a second operating system on a second hard drive. The first drive has win XP pro. I want to use bootmagic. Should I install bootmafig first or install linux and then bootmagic? Also any tips for installing on a second hard drive?

Thanks

If you have a second drive and you are using any common version of linux Boot managers are usually included with the product such as lilo upon installation of linux.

Well, I installed Mandrake Linux 8.2 and it automatically installed Bootloader (perhaps I missed an option in the beginning) I would have preferref Bootmagic but can live with Bootloader if I knew how to configure it.
