How better distribute W7 installation on several HDD?
I'll explane.
I want to install W7 on SSD disk. User folder (desktop, documents etc.), during installation, i'll move to sedond HDD. After installation, users and system temp folders i think need to replace on third HDD.
It's OK? Or temp folders can leave on second HDD with user folders?

How will you create a disk image, with that stuff scattered over 3 drives ?
Best to leave the operating system in 1 place.

Asolutely. Keep the OS on the SSD and move the user folders to the HDD(s). Delete the hiberfile and reduce the pagefile to 2GB. That will give you some more room on the SSD. The OS and all programs should then stay below 30GB (unless you have very large games).
If you need more details, post back.

About OS and users folder i have clarity.
Question is about users folder and temp folders. Do i need to separate it into two drives.

No.
Use the other drives to store your data and images.

If you want the modern Hibernate function then buy a big enough SSD to accomodate it (the size of your RAM). You shouldn't have to do without a popular feature which is perfected finally in Win7.
Otherwise follow the advice given to keep programs, OS and small page file on SSD, User folders on HDD linked via Library - Include a Folder - Windows 7 Forums which causes the fewest problems.
