completely paranoid approach, but if you are not sure in what you are doing,
it is justified. However for the record it is not necessary to do any of
this and even not required to have 2 drives, unless you do some windows
factory reset that would swipe your disk. I would recommend making backup
upfront such operations.
if grub does not recognize your windows partition, you better look into grub
configuration, or add a file like
/etc/grub.d/25_windows
with following
insmod part_msdos
insmod ntfs
set root='hd0,2'
chainloader +1
where hd0 is first drive and 2 is second partition - adjust to match your
setup
