Hello all,
I have a new build I am working on and I am trying to determine the best way to set up my hard drives. I have never used more than one HDD until now. I have an SSD that I would like to use as my boot drive. My current drive has all my files and programs on it. Do I have to wipe my HDD for use as secondary drive? I did a clean install of Windows 7 64x on my SSD and I it also has my games on it. I also has windows 7 64x installed on it.
The files and programs on the HDD (that is now connected to my computer as the secondary drive) no longer work. Some will work when I create a short cut to the desktop but seems most wont.
Windows media player will not let me find my music or videos. I do not want to keep these files on my SSD as there will be limited room. I want to be able to run them from the HDD.
I do have another 1 TB HDD that has pretty much all the same stuff on it as I cloned it to my 1 TB WD HDD about 2 weeks ago.
What is it that I have to do to achieve my goal here?
Setup:
I7 920
Asus Rampage III Formula
Windows 7 64 bit
EVGA GTX 670 FTW
Corsair Force Series SSD 240 GB SATA 3 (running in AHCI)
WD1002FAEX 1TB SATA 3 HDD (running in AHCI)
