Thanks to everyone who replied.
We manually partitioned the second drive and the install went without any problem, except that we had to say put the boot loader on the second drive. This meant we had to change the boot order in the bios to boot from the second drive first.
I don't see any reason you couldn't have shared the /boot partition on the first drive, and used Grub as your dual boot.
We tried putting over the kernel, ramdisk, etc from the second drives /boot to the first drives /boot dir and copied the entry from the grub.conf file to the grub.conf file on the first drive - changing the root drive from root (hd0,0) to root (hd1,0) but when we tried to boot we got a message saying illegal format when trying to load the kernel. The only thing I could think of was the F14 was a 32bit system and the new CentOS was a 64 bit system. We didn't spend much time then - just changed the bios boot order.
