Yes, that's the premise on which this guide is, you remove the main hard drive and install an OS then put them both in so it'll only boot from the primary one but the secondary still has an OS. As long as you can select the second HDD in the bootloader you're all guns blazing..
The reason I asked was your guide says to install an OS on the second drive (I get that). I was wandering about a working drive that I have in another machine, could I just move it into the machine I want to dual boot.

the hdd from the other machine will have all drivers installed for that particular machine - not just audio and video, ALL drivers,
the operating system will also be registered with that particular hardware,
so even if it could boot then there would be the issue of validation,
there is a very good chance that all you will get is a BSOD

EDIT: Yes the licensing issue would still apply, Windows would likely need to be reactivated on the new hardware.
