Safe Dual booting?
I am thinking about adding a second HDD to my main PC so I can play around more with Red Hat.
Will Grub do anything with my Windows HDD at all?

It will install the boot loader information to it, thats all (that I know of). I repartitioned my laptop drive so I could use Ubuntu (I need to find another distro that is a little more user friendly with my hardware) and in essence it is two drives, and it said it installed information on my Windows drive. Also, I would not suggest trying to boot up if you removed the non-windows os before removing the boot loader. If you find a way to do so then let me know, I would be really happy.
