Installing two OSs.

[Kdar]

Ok I thinking to install linux and window on my future build.

And thinking whats better? Use partition magic or get one HHD for Window and one for linux?

Either is a good approach, it is simply a case of whether you want to buy another hard drive and whether there is enough space on your existing one to accomodate for two operating systems.

My personal preference woud be to to buy the second drive, just so that if one dies at least you only loose one OS. However clearly this is not practicle with a laptop for example.

I always recommend seperate hard drives and not "portion magic."

Me too. But what's with the "portion magic" in quotes? It's name is Symantec (formerly PowerQuest) Partiton Magic
