All I do when I install both on a system, is install windows first, and then install linux next. This works the best, you just choose the second disk for the linux partition and whooop not a problem.

I 've a brand new computer, with in it, two hard disks (one is 40 gig and the second one is 80 gigas) (ide)
I need to install Windows and Linux.
I plan to install Windows on the 40 gigas disk, and Linux on the 80 gigas.
I would like to be able to start Linux or Windows using Grub.
Questions :
- What do I have to install first ? Windows XP or Linux FC3 ?
I would do Windows first. Otherwise it will overwrite your Linux bootloader.
- Do I have to disconnect (unplug) one HD to be able to install the OS where I want ?
No. Do not do this because it will confuse your bootloader.
- Is it possible to install Windows on the second HD ?
Yes, but it will want to be able to write at least *some* data (its bootloader) to the "active" partition. It's simpler if Windows is installed on the first disk.
- When I have to install Grub, what do I have to choose ? the MBR or the first sector of the startup partition ?
If you want grub to be your main bootloader, install it on the MBR.
Paul.
