Setup two hard drives (SSD and HDD)

[lien45]

How do I go about setting up a SSD (OS) and a HDD (Programs and Data)? Do i change any BIOS settings or do i connect them in any special way. Thanks in advance.

You do not have to do anything in the BIOS. You just need to install the OS on the SSD and then when you install programs select the HDD as the install location.

Thank you Burdenbound, I never considered a custom install. Busy week and have a mental block. Thanks again.

You could also clone the HDD to the SSD then format the HDD if you didn't want to do a fresh install. A clean install will be quicker and if you are going to reinstall all your programs any way it's cleaner.
