distinguish between hard drives in Windows 7 installation

1

Usually I distinguish between two hard-drives in Windows installations by their size, however this time I have two equal-sized hard drives, how can I know exactly which one is which during Windows 7 installation ?

Make a dummy partition in one of them, so you can see it in the installation to recognize the disk.

3Another option: Unplug the secondary disk, install W7 and then plug again. – Hugo – 2013-04-20T20:18:14.493
