When you install it you will have the option of creating a boot disk

Ask your friend why you can't use LILO though. You should be able to install it on your secondary HD and set up LILO to boot it from there at the times you choose to boot into Linux.

LILO will have to be on the first disk (on MBR), but it shouldn't matter where Linux itself is.
