Install Win 7 on SSD
Greetings,
I wasn't happy with the partition changes I'd made to my system. It worked thanks to the help and suggestions of the folks here on this forum. I just ended up with too many drive letters (Instead of a floppy drive, I have connections for just about every type of flash data device now in use. This gives me a ton of drive letters that are only used on occasion.)for a number of reasons) to easily manage my system. So this got me to thinking.
I have a 64GB SSD drive that is the new 6GB/sec transfer speed SATA (which, although recognized by my ASUS P6x58 Premium Mobo, isn't by Win 7). Can I safely reinstall my Win 7 OS to this SSD (C drive, make a 250GB partition on my WD Caviar Black 1TB HDD for my programs, and then make partitions on that drive for my Data, Music, Pictures,and Video? Is this a safe and reliable configuration?
My other questions is that both of my drives are true SATA 6.0GB/sec. I have two SATA 6.0 GB/sec. connectors on my mobo but Windows 7 doesn't seem to recognize them. I can only attach these drives to the SATA 3.0GB/sec connectors. Is there something I have to do to get my Windows 7 64-bit OS to recognize these? (As a side note, it is the fact that my HDD data connections are so slow that takes my overall 6.9 system rating down to 5.9. I'd like to correct that, if possible.)
Thanks you,
