New Office WIN 7 with SSD & data disks - how to configure programs off the C drive & users

All new computer win 7 pro 64-bit & State of the art everything.  SSD 128 GB & 2 - 2T in RAID 1 data drives.

SSD 128 C:\ & WIN 7 becomes all the settings are there.  "I want to move - or add - all future users & programs on the"data disk"F" as the default for the operating system.

This is the version abridged - ask & I'll tell you anything.

I should post this in another forum?

May I ask then, what was the point of investing in an SSD? The point of having an SSD is that Windows 7 starts and works faster to your programs will load faster. You must store 'data', you create from your programs on the 'data disk '.

You can redirect your personal folders for the data stored there:

  • Install Windows 7 on SSD and programs on the HARD drive?

    Original title: conner bottomley.

    Hello

    I was wondering if you could help me! I recently built my own PC, it has 2 drives (1 SSD and 1 HDD) and I want to have windows 7 (64 bit) installed on the smaller SSD and all other files and programs on the larger HARD drive could you give me some instructions on how to do it? I've been strugling for awhile now!

    I am completely new to this so if you can keep it nice and simple, would be great!

    Thanks for your help :)

    Have your program files on the HARD drive defeated the purpose of having an SSD in the first place. The goal is to start the operating system and load your programs faster.

    Then, install the operating system and programs on the SSD and store your personal files (Documents, music, photos, videos etc.) on the HARD disk.

    Demarrer start from the Windows 7 DVD, and then select the SSD drive during installation

    For information about how to modify your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, see the following tutorial:

    http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

    Click Custom install Windows only (Advanced)

    Select the SSD drive, and then click Next.

    Once Windows 7 is installed, you can redirect personal folders on the HARD drive to store your files.

    Hi amcop4591,

    1. How is - that Mount you the drive on the computer?

    2 Di you use any third-party tool to mount the drive?

    I suggest that you remove the external drive using the disk management and check back later if you can change the permissions on the drive.

    If you change the permissions, make changes to the permissions on the drive and then mount the drive.

    original title: lack of games
    I have an Acer Aspire PC. It came loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium. Recently, I reformatted the hard drive and did a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional.

    I have no games. No solitaire, Minesweeper, no nothing.
    How can I, without seeking to erase and reinstall again?

    To activate the built-in Windows 7 games:

    1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

    2. click on programs and features.

    3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

    4. find the entry called games & check the box next to it.

    5. click on OK.

    6 reset.

    If the games box is already checked, uncheck the box , click OK, restart, then do steps 1-6 above.

  • How to free space on the hard drive recovery disk?

    My J: drive (recovery) is near capacity after a reinstall of Windows 7. How to clear space on this drive?

    Hi John R H,
     
    The purpose of the training of recovery is to store all the files needed to do disaster recovery, when the system becomes unstable. The recovery disk is actually a partition on the hard drive of your computer - not a real physical disk. There is much less space than other drives. If you use the recovery disk to store files (such as backup files), the reader is full quickly and can cause serious problems when you need to use the system recovery.
    Note: Do not store files on the recovery drive. The only files on the recovery disk should be linked to a system recovery.
    Here's a post that addresses a similar issue. To resolve this issue, check the suggestion given in the post.

    SSD is MX100 Crucial @256 GB with 1 TB on Athlon X 4 760 K PC HARD drive.

    You could install Thunderbird where you want, but it will place a file in your AppData folder.

    I suggest you only install Thunderbird. It will install by default in your default programs folder. Now learn more about Thunderbird profile and when you feel comfortable with it, copy your profile on your SSD and configure profiles.ini find in its new place.

    You can edit profiles.ini to hand, or you can use the Thunderbird Profile Manager to make the changes.

    go into the BIOS, and then assign him drive in AHCI (etc.)

    Install Win 7

    install OEM HARD drive in secondary Bay

    etc.

    is this true?

    Hello:

    Your BIOS is set to AHCI (or RAID) by default. It cannot be changed.  Look in your device manager and in the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section, look to see if there is a controller SATA ACHI he.

    If so, you have an AHCI BIOS default.

    If you go further down the line in Device Manager and see a section of storage controllers, click on that, you would see a SATA RAID controller and your BIOS is set to default RAID.

    I don't have your model laptop so I don't know if HP has implemented some models double disk RAID or AHCI.

    So... First, copy your original C:\ drive SWSetup folder and save that to a portable hard drive. That must contain all the files installation for the drivers and the software provided with your PC. You can search this folder for programs that you may want to reinstall after your new SSD drive HARD primary.

    To install W7 on your SSD, check your own install of W7 disc.  Here's how:

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  • How to transfer programs to the newly added existing SSD HARD drive

    Hi, Smcc42,

    It is not possible to copy and paste any programs installed on another disk - you must reinstall them because their files are located in various locations on the disk and because of the registry entries.

    This can make the relocation process a little easier:

  • Adding an SSD on my PC without having to replace the HARD drive

    Greetings!

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 180 t desktop PC with Windows 7 64 bit installed.  I do a good amount of games on my PC and a year ago I upgraded my card to an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 graphics and my diet to a Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W unit.  I also have a card mother mATX (9.6 "x 9.6") of PEGATRON.

    Recently, I tried adding an SSD for my machine in order to improve the performance and organisation for some PC games that I love.  I did some research on the subject and am found a bit confused on whether or not, my motherboard will be able to handle the addition of an SSD in my machine.  I have read that I need you sure that my motherboard supports natively AHCI?  How can I check to be sure that if I buy an SSD that I'll be able to integrate it into my system?

    To be clear, I want to continue to use my disk regularly to run my operating system and all the other goodies on my PC and install an SSD for store and load my music/movies/games etc.  I was watching some affordable 'mushkin' SSD that seem to do the trick.  I can give the link for more later if necessary.  Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    F10 to the HP splash screen you will get in the bios.

    AHCI is recommended for use with an SSD, but it is not necessary. Most modern SSDS are supported operation garbage collection which does almost the same thing to maintain the SSD.  Check with the manufacturer of your SSD.

    Even if the SATA controller is set to RAID and the SSD doesn't not part of an active array, topping should always work.
