I could be wrong but I am fairly certain that you must install windows on the first drive. Although the \windows directory can be elsewhere, there are (I believe) certain components that must be on the first drive. I think I ran into this problem when using Partition Magic. If I am wrong here, I welcome correction.
Windows will always boot off of IDE1-Master or the booting SCSI drive. Unless you are using a boot manager that has an OS installation feature (i.e., System Commander), the best approach is to create a 500MB DOS partition on the first drive, and a Windows partition on the second drive. The Windows installer will have drive C: to dump stuff into, and the \Windows directory will be on the second hard drive. Personally, I keep my OSes on seperate drives to avoid this hassle.
