Multiple Hard Drives Running Multiple OSs

I have 1 Hard drive installed on my system with Windows 7 64bit and another lying around from an older computer. It still has files and programs on it from the old computer. My question is: How can I format the old hard drive and then install a second OS on it without any problems? Also, will I be able to install Ubuntu, Windows 8.1, and Mac OSX all on that one drive? If and when I do install the other OS/OSs, what should I expect to do to choose which OS to boot at startup?

I saw explanations on this topic but what I read on the subject is always vague and doesn't answer my questions entirely. Basically I'm afraid of messing something up on my existing drive because I don't fully understand the procedure.

So long story short, Windows 7 stays on hard drive 1, and other OSs all go on Hard drive 2.
