I installed my windows 7 ultimate on my new computer on my 120gb ssd, i just want to use that ssd for boot and some games.
Is it possible to have all my shit install into my 2tb hard drive rather than on my ssd?

When you install a program or a new piece of software, do not accept the default installation. Select the "Custom" or "Advanced User" installation and when it asks where to install the files, tell it to place them on your 2 TB HDD.

You could also move your "program files" directory onto another drive and create a symbolic link to the other drive.

But doesn't that defeat the purpose of having an SSD?

SSD - Programs
HDD - Music, Movies, Picutres, everything else.
