The new bioses allow >137GB drives.  It's been this way for some time now.

As for two hard drives you would have to install a switcher and only allow for booting of a single HD at a time.  There are tutorials on this if it fits your needs otherwise there is no way to have two HDs running at the same time.

Single HDD... yes.  Multiple, well... thats tricky and isn't exactly what you are looking for, I am sure.  You'd have to use a switch to varate between the two.

Do some reading as far as the process.  HDD upgrades are well documented.  LBA48 is the patch to allow > 137GB in a single partition.

/edit
Merged duplicate topics.  ChrisF, Evox M7 doesn't have the LBA48 patch incorporated into the BIOS.  You have to manually add it using XBTool, if my memory serves correctly.
