How to: Setup SSD boot drive with secondary Hard disc optimization - Page 69

post #681 of 716
Hey guys,

Im going to be installing a 30gb ssd .to use as a boot drive along with a few programs, on my laptop which already has a 500gb HDD. The HDD of course ill be using for mass storage.
after going through both guides , i must say that although both are really good, i am a little confused and left with some questions

1.the OP's method is to make SSD seek times available for stuff on the HDD. yes?

2.clearly this is a godsend for me as my SSD is pretty small, however the method seems a little risky and i see a lot of people have had problems with it. what id like to know is , will using sean's method (which is simpler) to move the user's folder bring out the same results? and if not , what would it achieve other than a space save ?

any help appreciated.

I followed the SSD boot drive w/secondary hard disc setup and everything is working fine except one thing. My media center guide downloads but doesn't appear. I'm guessing that media center is looking in the wrong spot. Any ideas?

Not really.

Why is it useless? It's working fine except for that one issue. Plus the title says for win7 and the instructions say you performed it on win7 ultimate 64bit.

This guide is really only useful for folks with small SSDs. You've got 240GB so this really is largely unnecessary. Sean's guide is a more suitable option.

I have a repeating problem that before only popped up once but with this latest install it has happened through 4 re-installs. When I open the new profile for the first time it doesn't populate my taskbar and if I install stuff it won't populate my toolbar either. It seems like the default folder didn't trasnfer but I have now tried this through 4 different installs on the same pc. I have made sure I follow the instructions to the tee now and it still keeps happening. Does anyone know why this happens?

It looks like you may be skipping a step or deleting something too early because it looks like it is referring to a file it needs. I can tell you that location isn't on my pc but I never got an error message.
