Did you install with both drives installed? It probably saw the Win 7 install, and added the Win 8 install(to the boot partition of the Win 7 drive) as a second(dual boot os). If you boot to the other drive, does it give you a choice to start Windows 7 or Windows 8?

In order to get it to work as a stand-alone drive is to install it with it being a stand-alone drive. Take the other drive out(unplug it), then install Windows 8 to the 1TB drive. Then you can pick which drive to load in bios.
