Just be sure that the second HDD is NOT external USB or Firewire.

To use the "XP mode", you must have a "qualifying" Intel or AMD CPU, with the "Virtual mode" capability. Some do, some don't..Why keep XP when you can use XP mode with Pro.
Good luck

I have two pcs both with two IDE HDDS with XP on the first drive and Win 7 RC on second drive (well actually I have both Debian and Win 7 on the second drive of one).
My understanding is that if you install it second you waont have any problems - it will display a choice of earlier Windows (your XP) or Windows 7.
If you don't choose either it will boot to Windows 7 though you can switch it around in the in Windows 7 go Control Panel\System and Security\System\Advanced System Settings\Startup and Recovery. You can then choose the opertaing system (windows only of course!) and the length of time before automatically booting the default.
PS I just pre-ordered Win 7 Pro at Amazon (a bit over-indulgent of me) - there were no longer any prices for Win 7 HP there so I went to Play.com to pay a bit more for a HP.
A bit of hestitation about choosing pro this morning and five quid has gone up in smoke. He who hesitates is lost...or slightly poorer.
