Is it possible to dual boot Proxmox and Windows 7 - each on separate internal drives?

I have a spare i5 box with two internal drives and want to create a dual-boot Proxmox/Windows 7 setup. I want to be able to run Windows 7 for LAN gaming and general familiarity, but easily boot into Proxmox as a home virtualized server to remotely access when I'm out and about.

Is this possible at all?

of course you can, but why would you want to when you have Virtualbox available in Windows? Having a full-on hypervisor dual-booting with a Windows OS is asking for trouble.

sgtfoo - If I installed Proxmox VE as a guest VM on a Windows 7 Host/Virtualbox, wouldn't I then be unable to install any KVM VMs in Proxmox VE? Nested virtualization? My principle reason for wanting to install Proxmox VE is to use it for testing purposes, to eventually move to a dedicated Proxmox VE environment, and I need the facility to host Windows VMs in my test setup.

do you have two physical HDDs?
