Have 2 HDD, 1st has Win 7 Pro(64bit), 2nd has Win XP32 & XP64 on different partition. Planning to upgrade MOB & add SSD for speed. If I install win 7 on SSD & then reattach 2HD's, do I get choice for booting from SSD& HDD at start?
What would be the best way to do this?
Is it better just to have OS on SSD & programs, data on HDD's?
OR just OS on SSD?

If I fresh install win 7 on SSD & then connect the HDDs with already running win7& XP, would it recognize the OS already installed & BIOS will give choice of OS?
Thanks for taking time to help, I appreciate it.
Also, SSD with only OS installed or OS & program would be more rewarding(for better performance?
