[CVALE] Dual Boot - Easier on separate drives?

[Pandora]

I'd go with the "empty hard drive for Linux" thing definitely.  There are just some persnickety problems with dual booting, and there's no reason to face them if you don't have to. Either way would work though, so if you don't mind making sure LILO has a boot partition below sector 1024 and junk like that, and don't want to hope that your BIOS can handle certain things for setting up the boot process, then go ahead and dual boot. You can probably get more HD space on a single drive, than from buying 2.
