Hello utamav - When I read your initial post, I was under the impression that you were trying to install Linux Mint and Windows 7 on the same disk. The fact the you have a second hard drive on which to install Windows 7 changes everything.
The fact that Linux Mint installed to your SSD using a MBR partition table suggests one of two things: 1.) Your machine uses only MBR boot, not UEFI boot. 2.) Your machine has a UEFI capable BIOS, but has Legacy/CSM boot enabled and UEFI boot disabled. In either case, do not change any of your BIOS settings when you install Windows 7 to the 1TB hard drive. And just to be safe, disconnect the SSD from the system when you install Windows 7. Then proceed to install Windows 7 to the 1TB drive.
Afterwards, what you'll have to do is this: Connect the SSD to the system, then enter your BIOS settings and place the SSD ahead of the 1TB drive in the BIOS boot order. Then boot into Linux Mint. After you get to the Desktop, open the Terminal and enter " sudo os-prober " to see if Linux Mint detects your Windows 7 OS on the other disk. If it does, then enter " sudo update-grub " to add Windows 7 to the grub boot menu and you'll be able to boot either system from the SSD. Doing it this way, the MBR area of the 1TB drive is left undisturbed, and not have to worry about any issues with booting Windows 7 because of a corrupted MBR.
One more suggestion: After both systems are up and running, think about installing the Grub Customizer to Linux Mint. To do this, open the Terminal and enter these three commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
After you have it installed, go to Menu > Administration > Grub Customizer. You'll find that Windows appears at the bottom of the boot menu. Click on the line where it is displayed, then use the "up" arrow to bring it to the top of the menu. After that, all you have to do is click "Save", and the new configuration will be written to the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg. The next time you boot the system, you'll see Windows at the top of the boot order. I do this for a very specific reason: Whenever you install Windows Updates, usually you must reboot the system back into Windows in order to complete the installation. By making Windows the very first item in the grub boot menu, you will be certain that this happens, and you will not "accidentally" boot into Linux Mint by mistake. I have no idea of what would happen if you booted into Linux Mint instead of Windows after applying Windows Updates, nor would I care to find out.
