[Solved] Multiple Hard Drives, OSes, and Storage?

Not totally sure what category/sub-category this fits into, but I think this was the best fit.

My question: is it possible to have 3 or more hard drives? If I hypothetically had the money (I don't) to build a simple homebrew system, would I be able to put 3 or more hard drives in it? Theoretically, I was thinking one for a Windows OS (I'm most comfortable and at home in one), a Linux OS (interested in using it, used it briefly and my interest was piqued), and these two would be relatively small drives, maybe 75 GB at max, just for the OS and programs, and the third would be larger, maybe 250-320 GB for storage.

Would that kind of setup work?

I think it could work, like in a dual boot way. The option to boot from the Windows drive or the Linux drive, but both have access to the storage drive, everytime I turn it on. Using one of all input/output devices (keyboard, mouse, monitor)?

I run Ubuntu as the host and a Windows XP virtual machine (with VBox) on a dual core Intel mobile processor that's a couple of years old, I'm pretty sure your computer could handle it too, though 4 GB RAM wouldn't hurt.

It's been a while since I set up my VM, and I actually save everything that needs to go back and forth on a network drive, so I don't entirely recall.

It might be possible to export a single directory or something, the VBox documentation should have more info on that (if it's possible).
