I wouldn't. Best to install OS on the SSD without the HDD even attached.

You want to do a clean install of the OS on the SSD, and then transfer the files needed over. It sucks, but I can tell you from hands on expierence, a clean OS install on a SSD is a must.

Also you never run defrag on an SSD, it dosn't use mechanical parts. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
