dmdilks,
I did exactly as you suggest.
You were provided accurate information.
Windows installation:
If windows is installed on a system with more than one disk, and the destination disk is unformatted, windows setup will install the System Reserved partition on the second drive. To avoid this, you can either temporarily disconnect the second drive, or format the destination
prior to running windows set up.
You can move the boot manager to your current boot drive if you wish.
