I recently upgraded my computer. I put in a 120 GB Kingston HyperX SSD and installed Windows 7 64 bit on that drive. I was told to use the SSD for the operating system and possibly any big programs I use on a daily basis.
Now I have my old 500 GB HDD hooked in too but both drives are registering as primary drives. I would like to change this. Also I would like my 500 GB HDD to be the drive where all my downloads automatically go, all programs would automatically select that drive for installation. I'm going to guess that would make my HDD the primary drive?
Additional information:
C: drive is SSD
D: drive is 500 GB HDD
Motherboard is a Z77 Sabertooth
Also I have been told to flip a switch on the drives but when I turn off the computer and unplug the drives there are no white switches on the back of the drives. I have also been told to change primary and secondary drives in the registry but I can't find the Windows 7 registry. All I see is Windows XP guides.
I really need a step by step guide(s) to help me. My only other option is to have a small time local guy come to my house and do it himself for $150 and he can't come for 2 weeks due to his busy schedule. So after talking to people on mumble they have directed me here. Please help.
