SSD + HDD installed, what do I do next?

Hey

I basically followed all the steps and now got this in my MBP 2012 13'':

SSD new OWC in the main bay with no OS
HDD in Optical Drive with OS X Mountain Lion installed

When I then launched the MBP after setting this up, I got the magic question mark folder.

Being on a mac for a few years, I tried the good old 'HOLD C' on startup so you can select startup disk but without success.

Am I right to say i shd theoretically be able to boot from the HDD OSX to initialize the SSD and the do all the software stuff?

if so: how shall I do so?

Cheers

So: it's a brand new MBP so it came with Mountain Lion installed already on the HDD.

The SSD has no OS so now when I start up the laptop having just done the data doubling, i get the question mark folder.

I don t have any Mountain Lion DVD or anything since it came pre-installed and from what I read, I just need to re-install it from the download bit once I manage to startup the computer.

So: I just need to get passed the question mark through the HDD with OS X to initialise the SSD and then install the OS on it.

HOW?

Thanks ivoruest, that was indeed the trick!!

Now I ve got another problem:

I ve installed OS X mountain lion on the SSD, the HDD wasn't formatted and is now in the optical bay properly connected but the MBP cannot detect it.

Does anyone one know how to diagnose the problem and hence find a solution to letting the HDD appear in Disk Utility or in Startup Disk? It can't find it as far as I can see...
