    Yes it is possible. Just use a boot loader such as GRUB or LILO. You can normally just install a flavor of linux and it will take over as your boot loader. Wiki GRUB.

    Yes its possible,

    If you have a windows cd or xp.. or install dvd of vista, just put it in and choose the 2nd hard drive..

    After that maybe he wont recognize the second OS so you need to fix the master boot record (MBR)

    just google fix mbr dual boot it will work.

    try looking at these articles.

    I just googled "multi boot windows 7 linux"

    people dual-boot all the time. the trick sometimes is the order in which you install the OS's, especially with windows. this is not something I have attempted, but others have already done it, so I refer you to their articles.
