I think you left out a lot of information.  Are you running raid? SSD or platter based disk drives?  If you are installing Win7 on one drive and using the other drive for storage, I'd recommend unplugging the second drive and then installing.

So are you having trouble getting windows installed or is windows installed and it's just not seeing the other harddrive?

Going to need to remove second hdd and reinstall windows 7. When install and updates are complete then you put in the second hdd.
