Thank you for the links. I'm sure they are very informative in their own right, but neither one answers the question.

I'm looking for a guide that shows me how to install the OS on the SSD and everything else on the HDD...

When installing your other software just select your hard drive as the location for installation.

I just got done doing this a few days ago.

The OS install is simple -- just have only the SSD plugged in when you do it. After the OS is completely installed, do a shutdown and connect the platter drive.

To have all of your data and documents on the platter drive:
Open up your C: drive, and navigate to the Users\YourUserName folder. Copy down all of the folder names.
Open up your platter drive (E: on my system) and create a Users folder. Then create a YourUserName folder within that. Then create all of the folders you copied down within the YourUserName folder. Close out of everything.
Open up your C: drive again and navigate back to Users\YourUserName. Right-click on the first folder in there and choose Properties. Click the Location tab and click Move. Browse to the first folder you created on the platter drive (likely E:\Users\YourUserName\Contacts) and click Select Folder. Answer Yes.
Do that for all of the folders (C:\Users\YourUserName\My Documents to E:\Users\YourUserName\My Documents, etc.). Now all of your documents and downloads will automatically save to the platter drive.

You will have to manually select the platter drive as the install directory (I use E:\Programs\ProgramName) for each program you install when you install it.

Thanks for the replies..

Leaps-from-Shadows, your guide is similar to another one I found this morning.

Good guide... I've seen that one before. If you want to set the default store location other than 'C' for new programs, this covers it... http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/39689-program-file...

I like these guides. My question is what's the difference between using junctions and changing the registry? Is one way better or more stable than another?
Sorry if I'm hijacking a thread. I've seen guides for each but don't know if one is better than the other.

Thanks!

all i did was put windows and drvers on c: and put all my 58 game and music and other *** on my 1TB (e 

so which way did you use?

What if you do Windows Updates in Windows XP?
I'd want everything OS to stay on the SSD!
Do they get installed to the C: drive (SSD) or do they go to the E: (HDD) drive?

Updates are stored in %windir%\softwaredistribution\download.

So, if you installed your OS in your SSD, then it will also be stored there.
