    I have one of my SSDs partitioned with three drives; programs, data, and games.

    Enjoy your new SSD! I sure did when I got mine. The speed is awesome.

    The best method to use so XP will install as C: which it will not do if it is not installed to the first partition on the SSD/HDD, and you can still end up with Windows 7 in the first position on the SSD; have a look at this tutorial at the link below and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.
