If you have two physical drives it is not generaly a problem and you avoid windows disk management. In my case I had linux on a partion on the same physical drive as win2k and that did cause some problems so I hunted for and found a good solution that used the win2k boot loader and keeps every body happy..

I've installed RH8 behind XP, doing a vanilla "i have no idea what I'm doing" desktop install onto a second drive. It worked fine.
Redhat sees that you have a bootable NTFS partition and does the chainloader thing automagically. OTOH it helps if you have a bog-standard single NTFS partition and a completely unpartioned second drive. Stuff like OnTrack really buggers things up.
If you're paranoid; don't install a bootloader at all, make a boot floppy instead. You can't go wrong :)
