Whenever I download something,save something on my desktop ecc. it goes on my HDD and thats perfectly fine but when I install it it automatically installs on my SSD :/ some programs ask where I want to save and I choose HDD but when it doesn't ask it automatically saves on the SSD. Is there a way to fix this? My SSD only 120gb big and it has only 60gb left.
 
In your browser you can go into settings and choose the default folder for it to save downloads to. If it's something strange that doesn't give you a choice it will automatically pick the drive with your OS on it, but the only thing I can think of that would do that without asking would be updates to programs already on the ssd like windows, virus program, directx, etc.

I downloaded three different browsers and they all automatically installed on SSD instead of HDD. I also downloaded a normal free game from bigfishgames just to see where it would save and it automatically saved on SSD without asking. While I installed The Walking Dead from my CD and it asked me where I wanted to install it so I chose HDD.
Whenever I save something from my browser it goes on to the HDD and that's ok but the problem is when I install it :/

Sorry maybe I didn't explain myself.
When I download stuff from my browser it goes to my HDD and that's how I want it to be, but then when I install those programs they automatically go on the SSD without asking..

Then they are low end programs if they don't allow you to chose. You could just try cut and paste from the ssd program files to the hdd, I don't know the specifics or if this would work.
