Ok, so I'm the oddball. Truth be told I was clueless when this all started and now barely have a clue.
Scenario:
Built new computer with raid 0. OC'd a bit, everything is great yay!
Decided I wanted to add a SSD to the mix. Primarily for two games and my two most important work programs that do a lot of data collection.
Unbeknownst to me, when I added the SSD I kinda screwed the pooch by configuring my setup. All I did was add the SSD, install win 7, install the 4 programs I wanted, and off I was.
Now every time I want to run a program thats on the HDD's I have to reboot, go into bios, set boot priority to the HDD's in raid 0, and switch over. Kinda a pain obviously. As well I now have two computers in terms of program licenses like anti virus, etc.
Pretty much a pain in the rear obviously.
What I want to do:
I want to set up like people normally would in this case with the SSD having the OS, my two work programs, and running everything else off my HDD's raid.
Being as I now have all this data on my hdd's, ssd, etc, How do I go about accomplishing this?
My thoughts were to copy all programs on my ssd to an external HDD or storage device or whatever. Then wipe my hdd's (how do I do that?), and reinstall the programs thru my ssd-win 7 to the hdd's like normal, and add the saved previously saved stuff from the external device back onto the E; drive in this case.
Sounds like I'm going to be spending a day of loading stuff up but I dont want to make it 3 days because I went about it wrong.
