  2. SSD and HDD

    I have a SSD and an internal HDD. I want my docs , scans, pitctures to automatically save to my HDD instead of dragging it later. Or rather I should have the choice of saving it to my SSD or HDD

  3. SSD / HDD Setup

    It's pretty simple to redirect the default folder location of Pics, Docs, Music, etc.
    MS has a support page for it here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/redirect-a-folder-to-a-new-location

    I went one step further with my SSD/HDD setup and made a 30GB partition just for the OS on the SSD. Then I install any programs that can be given an alternative path to the secondary partition, as well as the page file. 35GB might be a bit more appropriate for updates well into the future and/or in case he forgets to put some progs on the secondary partition, but so far 30GB has been plenty space for me. You can change the default install path as well, but I wouldn't recommend that as he'll probably want to install some things on the SSD, and some on the HDD, so it's better to do it piecemeal.

    SSD / HDD Setup

    Hey guys got a few questions here, Wondering if I could get your advice *Smile Setups automatically installing in ssd instead of hdd :)
    A friend of mine dropped off his computer today he wants a fresh install of Windows 7
    Parts: Samsung 830 SSD
    WD Black 1TB
    This is what he wants me to do, He wants Windows 7 and Office installed on the SSD Drive (easy) So for this step I will NOT even hookup the WD Drive yet, After Windows installs and I install all the drivers and Office on the SSD. Then I will hookup the WD 1TB HDD once in windows I will format it in Computer Management (easy) Now his question was how will things be installed on the WD 1TB Drive meaning his pics, docs, music and games and software ???? Will he have to change the path to that WD Drive everytime he installs something ???? and is there a way to make the default path for all his pics,docs and music to go to the WD Drive automatically ????
    Sorry if this is confusing but just ask and maybe I can clarify it better *Smile Setups automatically installing in ssd instead of hdd :) Looking for the easiest way possible *Smile Setups automatically installing in ssd instead of hdd :) Thx *Respect :respect:
