I recently built my new PC with 1 SSD and 1 HDD. I have installed the operating system (Windows 7) onto my SSD, but I want to know whether I need to install it on my HDD too or how I can make that my main storage device. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Windows only needs to be installed on one drive, whichever one you wish to boot from (obviously the SSD in this case). Just plug in the HDD after installing to the SSD and format it, assign it drive letter D. I'd not have it plugged in during installation simply because Win 7 stores it's boot files on a separate small partition ("System Reserved" - 100MB) but on a multi drive system doesn't always put it on the same drive as the system partition (C:)
