    Hi,

    Yes it's possible. Actually, it's easy. Install the drive - you do not need
    to partition or format it at this point. Boot the system with the Win7 disk
    and during setup, select the new drive for the installation location. Setup
    will allow you to partition and format at this point. Boot files will be
    installed to the original drive and should setup the dual boot choice for
    you once the installation completes.
