Carolyn,
(I started to compose my answer and realized I assumed I know what you
mean, so here are some clarification questions...)
Which will be the primary disk (windows,or linux) ?
How do you boot to linux now?
Do you mean that you want to add your windows dist to an existing boot
config, and/or
do you want the boot process interrupted to give you a boot choice
between disks?
or do you want to change your boot method and install grub to control
the whole boot up?
Modifying an existing grub bootup is pretty easy ....
a case of editing /boot/grub/menu.1st on your existing linux (I can
help you with the options for these cases)
Installing grub is more involved but there are howtos out there on the
process.
Best bet is to install, or reinstall the grub package for your linux
distro and follow the readmes (eg /usr/share/doc/packages/grub)
Once we get that figured out the changes are pretty straight forward
