SSD & HDD illiterate

[tendogs]

I built my computer a few months ago, I went at it as a novice and the results have been okay.

 

I installed a large 2tb hard disk and a SSD with 65 GB.

 

My idea was to use the SSD to hold my operating system and to direct all the other memory activity to the HDD. I seem to have made a mess of setting the system up:( and all the data is being stored on the SSD which is now nearly full.

 

How do I rectify this?

What do you call data? Do you mean downloads, films, pics etc or installed programs?

Hi and welcome to ExTS

 

Try this: ( I am doing this on Vista - hope it holds good for Win7 )

 

Start > right click on "Documents" > Properties > Location.

 

Change the C:\ in the Location to D:\ ( or whatever letter your HDD has been allocated )

You will probably be prompted regarding creating a folder and moving all documents across to the new location.

 

Then test it by saving a new Word document.

It should end up in the new location.

 

If there is a problem there is a "Restore Defaults" button that will allow you to move things back.
