Reinstalling Windows 7 on 32 GB SSD
(Lenovo U410 - 32 GB SSD, 750 GB HDD)
-A little bit of background information: I pretty much screwed around with my laptop trying to solve a problem. This eventually lead me to breaking a "RAID" setup in the laptop which uses a 32 GB SSD as cache with Intel Rapid Start/Storage Technology and reinstalling Windows 7 on just the HDD. I'm trying to figure out if I should just try to re-setup what I "broke" - not too sure how lol - or use the 32 GB SSD as a boot drive - which I'm also not sure on how to do.
I have read some guides on installing the OS on a small SSD and then moving things to the HDD manually/junction points/symbolic links.
I'm not sure exactly on how to do these things or if they're worth doing. I've also stumbled upon other people having problems with these methods as the OS just writes things back onto the boot drive; SSD.
I'd appreciate it if someone could give significant insight on this and share their knowledge.
