I know nothing about partitioning and dual boot, I used to partition drives back in the CP/M and IBM DOS machines in the early 90's but forgotten most of that and is probably irrelevant now anyway.

I'm sure RR will be along shortly, but the short answer is,
Yes, you can install it to the 2nd hard drive and run Linux from there.
Hard drive partitioning hasn't changed much, mainly the File Systems on those disk.
fdisk is still a partitioning tool/command used in Linux, I used fdisk back in the dos days.
All of the partitioning is pretty much automatic at this point, you just tell it what you want to install to, and the installer will do the rest. You can change it if you want, but it usually does pretty good by itself.
How big is the 2nd hard drive?
