Will this dual boot scheme work?

When I bought this machine it came with Windows 7. At that time my only
need for windows was to run TurboTax and I could do that using XP in
VBox so I had no real need for Windows 7. I unplugged the HD that came
with the computer and put in a new HD and installed Ubuntu 10.04. When
10.04 was no longer supported I pulled the Win 7 HD added a new HD and
installed 12.04 and dual booted with 10.04. With XP coming to end of
life it looks like TurboTax will no longer support XP so I want to dual
boot Win 7 and 12.04.
My bios will let me choose which HD to boot from. Right now it brings
up grub from the HD containing 10.04 and then boots 12.04. I would like
to pull the HD with 10.04 on it and replace it with the HD containing
Win 7. Then tell the bios to boot from the 12.04 HD.
If I do this will grub on the 12.04 HD boot and find Win 7 as a bootable
OS and add it to the grub menu automatically so I can dual boot 12.04
and Win 7?
Thanks, Jim
