Hello fellow peoples. I recently bought a pc and put it together, and am running into a few problems. Everything is fine except: I have a 120GB samsung 840 pro SSD set as my "Boot drive" which is where I installed windows, and a 2TB western digital black for my main storage, but everything keeps getting put on the SSD and nothing on the Hard drive. If someone could please help me fix this, id appreciate it.

Build: MOBO: Intel Dx79si extreme board (back to bios button included)
Processor: intel 3930k
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4gb sticks)
HDD: Samsung 840 pro 120 GB, Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB.
Graphics: EVGA Geforce GTX Titan
 
When you say everything to you mean the programs you install or as you said everything? If you want to install programs to the HDD you will need to create the Programs Files (x86) and Program Files folders on the HDD and make sure you choose that location when you intstall a program. As far as saving files you have to select where you want the files saved. By default Windows will choose the OS drive. You can move the page file, downloads folder, temporary internet files folder and my documents to the HDD but be sure to read how to properly do so before attempting.
