    Hello.

    I have an Asus N750J. I installed Arch Linux on the first drive, then I tried to install Windows 7 on the second one.
    Windows 7 didn't let me to proceed, so I disconnect the first drive and so I complete correctly the installation.

    Now the PC directly boot into Windows, it does not start Grub anymore. I also tried to chroot into Arch and reinstalling GRUB, but it does not work anyway.

    Can you please help me? :cry:

    I believe GRUB/dual boots work from a single drive with multiple partitions. The system will boot off of whichever drive is listed as the primary. You can use the quick boot selection menu to boot off of the other drive, or if you want to use the GRUB boot selection menu, you will need to set up your operating systems on a single drive.
