Dual-Booting, installing FC5 on a new hard drive

Hi, I'm a Linux ubernewb so please bear with me.

I'm currently running windows XP on two SATA hard drives that are RAID 0. What I'd like to do is purchase a small (80-120gb) IDE hard disk on which I can install FC5. That way I can keep the two operating systems completely separate and just dual-boot to whichever one I need to use. Since I've always used either IDE or SATA (never both at the same time), I'd like to know if they will play nicely with one another. My guess would be yes, but I wanted to make sure before I purchase the hard disk or flub up my current partitions.

Thanks!
nick
