I have sucessfully loaded Mandrake using the scenario you mentioned
above.
I can't answer many questions as I am a linux newbee myself although
in computing for 25 years. However I can lend some assistance on your
concern merely because I went through it.
I had a single 20 gig hd with ME loaded. I bought a second hd with 80
gig, and tranferred ME to it with the intention of loading Mandrake to
the original 20g. After doing so I then rebooted and interrupted to go
the BIOS setup, changing it to boot from the CD-rom first. With the
Mandrake disc in place I then rebooted again and let Mandrake take
over erasing and preparing the first drive for it's installment, (only
after quadriply rechecking my ME setup to make sure IT worked with no
problems).
Is was painless!
Now when I reboot I get 5 different choices as to operating system and
after about 30 seconds if no choice is made it defaults to Mandrake.
