You can put it on a second hard drive or a logical drive on an extended partition but you'll need a boot manager capable of booting logical drives in the extended partiton. The standard dos/windows MBR can not do this, it wants to boot 1 of 4 primary partitions. If you use lilo in the mbr it can load Linux from an extended partition, but if you re-install Windows it will wipe lilo out of the mbr so have a boot disk handy to boot the system and rerun lilo to refresh the mbr again.
