Got both drives connected & both show up in BIOS. Now I need to figure out how to set disk management to put all my files, pictures, other programs, etc. on the SATA hard drive. It is listed as DISK 1 BASIC Unallocated Any suggestions?
You don't have anything on the HDD now, right? Everything you need is either on the SSD or backed up to an external?
The HDD showing as unallocated means you (most likely) deleted the partitions on it. The answer to your question may change according to your reply.
Alright, you can just right click the unallocated space - New Simple Volume - set the size - assign a letter and then format with NTFS (default settings are good enough).
Then create your folders on the HDD as usual and copy the files (music, video, documents) into them. You can add these new folders to your libraries as well if you so wish.
For programs you should use your SSD unless you have a program that takes an unusually high disk space. For those, specify the HDD folder you created for programs while installing.
HDD looks alright.
You can do either:
- User Folders - Change Default Location
- or just create the folders on HDD as an additional place (have both the default and HDD) but use the HDD only. You can then add the HDD folders to libraries to serve as a shortcut (Library - Include a Folder)
