If anyone can help me that would be great. I also plan to dual boot with 2 separate hard drives. So that i can have windows 7 just for gaming
 
Dual booting is simple with two drives.
1. Install OS X on one drive.
2. Unplug and plug in the second drive.
3. Install Windows on the second drive.
4. Re-plug the OS X drive and make sure you boot from it.
5. Voila! Your boot menu will show both OS X and Windows.
 
Thanks for letting me know
