Yes you can safely put deb on one drive and keep win on the other.
Using lilo (linux loader) you can choose which (win/deb) to run at boot
time, but no you can't run both simultaneously.
As for the internet, well that's a pretty broad question. You don't
need
any other software, at least. Debian comes with all the software you need
for this. As for "how to do it", well thats a *really* broad question :-).
If your getting deb on a cd distribution, look for some kind of
documentation directory on the cd(s). You should find somewhere, a whole
bunch of FAQs, HowTos and other documentation. Look for ones about
NetWorking/Internet. If your getting internet access thru an ISP via a
dialup connection, you should start with docs about PPP, as that is what
you'll need with debian (PPP is a communications protocol which is the
favored way to connect with ISPs). If all of this gibberish to you, you
should realy start at the beginning with a good book on Linux (as a lot of
us did; I've go a stack of books about Linux and Unix in general).
