Though yeah.. I have an old XP on one drive and windows 7 on another. Basically you install windows 7.. then linux.. then boot back into windows 7 and mess with the boot loader.

If I am to understand your link correctly from my brief lookover, I would be booting Windows, and windows would ask me if I wanted to boot Ubuntu or not. Is that correct?

Ok. Will grub let me read/write between hdd as well?
Also, windows says it detects the other HDD, but I cannot access it from windows. Why?

Just because an OS is installed on drive A and another on drive B it doesn't make a giant wall come up and no one ever will have access to that data. Everything functions through the motherboard, right? That means if you had six hard drives your current OS you are reading would be able to see all six drives.. that concept is no different when dealing with different operating systems installed.
If you don't believe me download the latest ubuntu, throw it on a dvd, and boot ubuntu in your ram.. your drives shoul all popup.

Then why the heck is my Windows OS not letting me see the other HDD when I go to "My Computer"?
