Hi all!
So here is that Im trying to do. I want to have a copy of windows 7 ultimate x64 installed to my ssd and another copy installed to my raid0 array. I've done it before, actually a couple if weeks ago and i had them renamed and everything. Now i had to do a clean install again but this time Im struggling to get it working and its annoying me a lot. I format the ssd and install w7 to it then i restart the pc and go thru the windows dvd boot and install the OS to the raid after loading drivers and everything. Now when the installation requires the first restart the pc reboots then just prior to entering the welcome screen right after the black screen with the windows flag the pc reboots and it does the same thing over and over. I can't even select which windows i want to boot because the raid OS hasn't finished completely. I've disconnected my ssd and installed OS into the raid np but i don't see the options for both OS at start up. I don't know what else to do that's why Im here seeking help. Thank you in advance. If you have any questions let me know.
 
^ Are both partitions on the same drive or on separate drives? I'm a bit confused with your setup. You have 1 SSD and 2 additional SSD's or HDD's?? 3 drives total? or partitions?

If you are on two separate drives, then I don't know what to tell ya. There is really no reason to not work. You should have option to choose the drive to boot controlled from BIOS.

Tell us more detail on what drive(s) you are trying to install Windows.

The raid array are two hdd so its separate from the ssd. I had both dual OS before but now when i try installing a clean version into the raid partition it gives me that problem. I will troubleshoot more tonight when i get home from work and see what happens.
 
Disconnect the Raid0 and install to your SSD
Disconnect the SSD and install to the Raid0
PLug both back in and in the BIOS, set whichever one you want to be first.
Once booted into that, install EasyBCD and in that you can edit, rename, etc other boot entries.
Just add the 2nd install in Easy BCD
