dual booting xp and nt on separate hard drives

Just bought a new Dell dimension 8300....I ordered it with two 40GB hard drives hoping to accomplish the following. The C drive currently has XP pro installed which I want so that is no problem. What I want to do is install NT 4.0 on the second hard drive for my MCSE class purposes so I can switch back and forth if I am not studying with NT. I have been reading about dual booting and such and I get somewhat more confused as I read everybodys suggestions.....I have Partition Magic 8.0 if that is going to help my cause during this process. Any help or ideas is GREATLY appreciated...thanks alot.

Just go through the normal NT4 installation routine, when it asks whick partition to install to select D (or whatever letter the second drive is). It should be straight forward. You don't need to use partition magic.
