Well I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit installed onto a crappy IDE, I don't care about start up times but is there any way to have it soley just for OS storage? I'm sick of the slow response time when I save access pictures, use the desktop icons etc. just because it's all on the C:\ drive, I have another hard drive with all my games and stuff on it and it's a lot faster, the E:\ drive.
Is there any way to move the Desktop, Users: all the pictures/music etc. purely on the E:\ drive, so when I tab to the desktop I'm looking at icons saved on the non-os drive or when I press Start>Pictures it takes me to a Pictures folder on my E:\ drive instead, YES I have entered the config on pictures/music on the start menu and set the "Libraries" to go to E:\ drive folders but it accesses it from the C:\ drive and it's soooooo slow, it's much faster when I just go to computer>users>whelan>pictures it loads instantly.
Any ideas? I would install windows on my E:\ drive and ditch the IDE, but that means wiping the E:\ drive which I don't want to do, it has over 150GB's of important files and 1) it would take ages to move it onto the IDE drive but 2) the IDE drive only has 80GBs of storage...
