if i get the adaptor and install a second HDD into the system will it allow me to boot up linux from the second drive while still having Vista Business on the internal Drive? and when ever i boot it will ask me to choose the OS right?

Yes you can dual boot that way. It doesn't ask you which OS but which hard drive, when you press F12 during BIOS boot screen.

sugo is correct, however the following is also true. Whichever drive is in the main hard drive slot is the drive that will boot by default - that is if the F12 key is not pressed. You can also install a boot manager on whichever drive is in the main hard drive slot and that will give you the option screen at boot without needing to press the F12 key.
