Sure.  Linux can read disk drives that have been formatted under Windows,
no problem.

The answer is to put linux on one hard drive and windows on the other.
Linux (well, actually Lilo, the program that starts up linux) can ask you
whether you'd like to run Linux or Windows each time you boot, and you can
pick one.
