fresh start

[JRJ]

After my psu took out my 2 hard drives with a dodgy 5v rail throwing out 19v, ive bought an ssd for boot and programs and a new 1tb for storage.

My question is ive put a fresh install of vista 64 on the ssd, how would i setup the storage drive so that user files save to the storage drive instead of the ssd? I think that makes sense boot and run programs only from the ssd and all documents to save to the hdd, prehaps having the ssd invisible?


Thanks

Anybody offer any solutions? Cheers

Move user folder locations to Secondary HDD:
Go to your User folder.
Right click your user folder you want to move (ex. the "My Pictures" folder).
Click "Properties."
Click the "Location" tab.
Change the destination to another location by clicking "Move..." and selecting the destination (ex. "D:\Pictures").
Note 1: If there are two of the same folder in the User folder after the move (ie. My Documents "A" and My Documents "B") you should delete the empty one located on the C: drive. (May need to go into safe mode to delete it) Do not delete the other User folders, only duplicates that come up after the move within the User folder.
Note 2: If the folder already exists that you are linking it to you may want to merge the folders.
