How to install windows on an SSD while preserving HDD's programs?
Sorry but the title is too short :P
Hey all, I'm new and I just bought the 830 128GB, and am having some trouble installing windows on it.
Basically, I have the GA-Z77-D3H motherboard and a 1tb HDD that I had for 5 month before I got this SSD today. My friend told me that I can install the OS on the SSD and still have the programs on the HDD running without reinstalling everything. First of all, is that correct? If so, how do I do it exactly? Install windows on the SSD and set it as first in boot sequence? I did that (I think) and it just gave me a brand new windows 7, with all the programs'es files on the E drive, but unable to run and start.
Please help me ASAP, I really want to have a 15 seconds boot time before I go to sleep :P
Thanks, so much, in advance, and I hope you have a great day!
EDIT: formatting is just done for the SSD, and I really don't know how to set up the boot sequence and how to install windows on the SSD correctly. Please help, I am a newb when it comes to computers, really.
