In fact, if you were to put 2 master drives on the same controller,
your machine wouldn't boot. As for where to put the second drive, I'd
recommend hdb on the first controller, rather then hdd, since you
don't want to mix cd-rom and hard drives if you can avoid it. 

As for your question how to do it, you need to set the jumper on the
back of the second drive to slave, connect the cable, make sure that
secondary slave is set to auto-detect in bios, and you should be all
set. You'll probably need sighted help with setting the jumper, if you
don't know which pins on the drive are for slave. You shouldn't need
to touch the primary hd. Hth.
