One of the hard disks has Linux in it.....In the other hard disk, I am planning to Load Windows 2003 Server.......After loading the Windows 2003 server , I need to boot through the Windows 2003 OS.....

Just boot from the Win2k3 CD and select the unused drive to install it. Once that's done, you'll need to use a bootloader such as grub or LILO. Theoretically the Windows bootloader could boot Linux. I've never done it but have been told that it's possible.

Yes install the Windows 2003 server on the other drive or make a partition on the linux drive for it. Then setup a bootloader like grub.

so its going into windows without giving option for linux? I would retry installing grub the linux boot loader to the MBR. Another method of installing win2003 server would be to install wmware on your linux OS and run the windows OS out of vmware. I prefer this option because u can run both OS at the same time so you wont need to reboot to change OS
VMware.com to get the software, its free for vmware server.
