I seem to remember something similar from back in those far gone days
when I
used Windows... These components that 'must' be on the first drive only
need to be there because Microsoft says so, not for any technical
reasons, IMHO. My advice would be to temporarily unplug your first
drive, to convince Windows that it's getting pride of place on the first
drive, and then plug the drive with your real OS back in when the
install is finished. I see no reason why this shouldn't work, although I
don't have the details of your setup :/

Good luck,
