My current machine has Vista on one HDD. I would like to add a new SSD with Win7, a new HDD, while keeping access to the original Vista/HDD. Can I do this? How complicated would it be? Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Wouldn't be too complicated.
Plug your SSD in and unplug the HDD.
Fresh install Windows 7 via disc or USB onto the SSD.
Plug the HDD back in.
Ensure you boot off the SSD, and you will see the HDD under my computer.

Optionally delete the OS (not personal files) off the HDD before you install the SSD.
I would suggest deleting it after the SSD has an OS so you don't get conflict between the two.
