Solved Installing a SSD

[Eddie]

I did a search for SSD and there was nothing. Anyway I have a 120GB Sandisk drive that I want to install on my Win7 PC. Since the drive is only 120GB I will not be able to store my data and all of my programs on it. I want to use the SSD as my boot system drive and for few programs and games. I want all of my data like documents, music, pictures, etc on my 1TB hard drive. I will be doing a fresh install of Win7. How can I make Win7 use the 1TB hard drive as the default drive for my data? I very much appreciate any assistance.
