Ok here is the situation:

I have a macbook pro where i removed the optical disc drive, and replaced it with a ssd housed in an optibay. So now i have a HDD of 750GB and an ssd with 120 GB
I have windows installed on the ssd, and mac on the hard disk.
I want to partition both disks so both mac and windows get half of the disk space of each disk. Mac running on 60gb of the ssd, with 375GB of hard disk space for storage, and windows running on 60gb of the ssd with 375gb of hard disk space. How do I go about this? My first thought was to create a lion installer on a usb stick, format both disks completely using the recovery partition (which, as i understood it, has a disk configuration tool), install lion on the ssd, and partition both disks to be 50-50 each in Lion. Then I want to use bootcamp to install windows on the second half of the ssd. Is this the best way? Are there pitfalls which i should be weary of?
