Try using punctuation next time. It was a real chore reading your post. You have learned why you should only have the primary drive you are installing Windows on connected. Since it is a fresh install, it will be faster to reinstall instead of repairing the error via recovery console. I advise you to just start the install again, with ONLY the primary drive connected. This way you can ensure Windows places the boot files on the drive they should be on.
this problem can actually result from a hardware problem its essentially saying the kernel could not be loaded try checking the hard drive for io errors memory for errors can you boot a linux live disk try installing ubuntu and see if it boots try memtest x86 which comes with ubuntu windows 7 also have a memory testing tool if you can run that Also try understanding the above paragraph, then relies it's hard to do.
sorry for not using punctuation and thanks, for advising me on how to install windows 7 thanks on reply.
Also is your bios configured to boot from the drive with the boot loader on. It may have reconfigured itself when you attached the 2nd drive.
