Hey there, dipendesai!

Most probably you need to temper a bit with the BIOS boot priority or reinstall the OS on both your hard drives properly.
I'd attach the first HDD and install Windows on it.
Afterwards disable the power, unplug that HDD and plug the other drive.
Install the desired OS on it. Disconnect power again, plug both HDDs in.
Then go to BIOS boot menu and set your boot priority as you please.
This way you will let each HDD have its own MBR.
