    Strongly recommend you upgrade your RAM to 1 gig. 512mb will lag with even a lightweight AV like Avast.

    You should also run the WIndows 7 upgrade advisor which will give an honest assessment of your hardware to run Windows 7, and detect any possible conflicts which are causing the current problem.

    It is likely Win7 cannot see the second HDD because of incorrect BIOS settings. Check how the drive is configured in your BIOS.

    Did you format the second HDD using XP? It has a different partition table and needs to be formatted from the Win7 installer.

    You should be booting from the installer and not running it from XP. Choose Custom and use Advanced Drive tools to wipe and format the drive.
