Should my PC slowdown when I'm installing a game on one HDD and running windows on another?

I mean, If for example I'm installing a heavy big game on my 1TB HDD and running Windows 7 on my 500GB HDD, show Windows slow down to the point where the browser(and pretty much anything else on the 500GB HDD) becomes unusable?

I guess if the thing you're installing is installing from the drive to the same drive it would be more restricted to that one drive but then it uses your CPU and RAM up a bit as well so you can't really do much about that. Like I say, an upgrade of some sort would be highly useful to levitate some pressure off the system.

So you're trying to say that these things sort of spread out through all the HDD's on the PC no matter what?
