SSD not put to waste

Last response: in Systems

I just recently assembled my new gaming rig, and I've encountered a lot of problems with it. Big and small issues which some of it I've resolved, and now I have encountered another one and really need your help. I want my SSD to be my boot drive and i want my 2Tb raided 0 to store my media files to share.

My problem is, I want to make my new rig also a home server for media streaming so i want to put all my media files into the "Libraries" which consist of the "MYs" .. My music, My Videos, My Documents. This can only be accessed if I put in the HDD same where i put Windows 7 which is SSD 30gb.

How can I still use my 30gb vertex ssd as my boot drive and use my 2tb as storage and access it through Homegroup and use it as a home media server??? need help please.

My rig has:

Asus P7p55d deluxe
Intel core i7-860
8gb G.skill ripjaws
XFX Radeon HD 5870
Corsair 850w PSU
OCZ Vertex 30gb SSD (boot drive)
2 1tb Hitachi hdd (raid 0)

I am really a noob on setting up programs for computers. Now i know what you mean by setting up bios and make ssd as boot drive, i don't know where to configure the secondary drive. If i do this, will i be able to make the directory path of the library lead to the raid0?? thanks for the quick response.

If you want to include other folders besides the default folders, go to My Computer, click on Libraries, then choose each "MY" folder you want to expand. For example, right click on "My Documents" and choose Properties, then click "Include Folder" and you can select another drive, or specific folder on that drive to include in the "My Documents" library.

Hope that helps...
