I have 2 1tb hard drives on my computer with Windows 8 on the first hard drive and nothing on the other.
I want to install Ubuntu 14 on the second hard drive. I've looked up some guides and they all say to install Ubuntu on the sdb partition when booting off a usb stick. I have also seen some say to unplug the Windows HDD and then install Ubuntu onto the second HDD, and Ubuntu will automatically detect Windows and ask what you want to boot into upon boot.
I am really concerned about this - Will it ask me to choose what OS I want to boot into? Is there something like rEFInd(Mac) for Windows? Can anyone please give me a guide on how to do it without ruining my computer?
Thanks

First of all you should note that you are going to install Ubuntu on a second hard drive and not on the same disk alongside, Thus you shouldn't care if Ubuntu can show the Windows or not, since the booting option now is not controlled in the Ubuntu boot Manager which is called GRUB. The booting option now is controlled by your system BIOS, so that you have each time to choose which harddisk to boot from and thus boot the needed OS.
Anyway, To install Ubuntu now on the second harddrive you can keep the Windows HDD pluged but you should be careful to choose the right drive to install Ubuntu on(the free drive), and since this have some rescue I advise you to unplug the Windows drive from your Pc, then Install Ubuntu on the second drive then replug again the Windows.
Don't forget you have to choose the HDD to boot from the BIOS.

Installing Ubuntu on Second Drive, Windows on First
Unplug Windows hard drive.
Install Ubuntu on second hard drive.
Plug Windows drive back in.
Boot Ubuntu hard drive.
In Terminal run:
sudo update-grub
This should automatically add a Windows menuentry to the grub boot menu.
You can change back to Windows bootloader, (first HDD), using BIOS if desired.
