Perhaps you could remove the smaller of the two hard drives, and do the
install via cdrom onto the larger drive. You could then remove the cdrom
and install the extra drive after. Formatting it and moving what you wanted
onto it isn't too bad in most cases. Using the larger and faster drive as
your boot and root drive is a bit better for performance anyway.. not that
it'll be a big difference, but what the heck :) That's all I can tell you.
Good luck with it.
