I know to be very late in the topic, but i solve all boot-problems wit EasyBCD installed under Windows. In you case I would suggest following:
1) Reset/erase all entries. Notice: Don't reboot before you have not made at leasr one Entry.
2) Setup on each HDD one MBR (Master Boot Record)
2) New bootloader (Add new Entry) for Windows on big HDD, I suppose C:\
3) New bootloader (Add new Entry) for Linux (Grub 2) on smaller HDD
It's mean you setup two MBR on two different HHD's on each one you install one bootloader.
Some motherboard (e.g. Asus p5b Deluxe) have the option to can choice the boot-HDD by pressing "F8" just after using start-button, to not be confused with windows "F8" that come alittle bit later.
In this case you can start the desidered OS by selecting HDD. On my machine works it fine.
