    Install Win7 on the first drive, then the Linux distro on the 2nd. If you want the distro to be responsible for dual-booting, install GRUB in the MBR of the first HDD.

    If you want the Windows boot manager to be responsible for dual-booting, install GRUB in the MBR of the 2nd HDD, then use EasyBCD or similar program to add an entry for the distro in the Windows boot menu.
