Just inside your main form use, Form2 frmTwo = new Form2();
frmTwo.Show(); or frmTwo.ShowDialog();

add a button to Form1 and in the handler of that button click add:

C#

Form2 f2 = new Form2();
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
f2.ShowDialog();

if you want to maximize again try adding

this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;

after f2.ShowDialog. (if that doesn't work you'll need to fire an event that Form1 catches.

to start Form2 Maximized use the same principle

f2.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;

It might not be 100% correct, but should get you on your way.
Hope this helps.
