I can only guess but I think Windows 7 was NOT mapped in GRUB while being installed so it installed in MBR of first HD.
I guess if you want Windows to take over the MBR of the second HDD, you should first make the second HDD as primary hard disk, then install Windows 7 and then change back the boot order, change the mapping and then boot. It should work.
