Unpacked my Samsung 830 from under the Xmas tree, mounted inside Frankle (friendly name for my PC, from Frankenstine, due to the multiple transformationit went thru), and then zipped thru a 12 minutes fresh Win 7 install.

Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hey I got an SSD too, but have put off major installation for a few weeks now. Now that I have some time, I was wondering how you do most of the installing on the programs? Are there any special things you have to do in Windows7 to make sure non-essential stuff goes to your storage HDD? I've been choosing "custom install" for all my programs, but I get the feeling I should also be doing something else to make sure only the OS is on C: drive.

Batwing~SPARTA~ Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hey Durka, I think you first need to have the "theory" clear and then you move to "action". OBJECTIVES: 1 - having OS on C ( SSD) 2 - having Hi-Performance programs / games on C 3 - having all of the rest on Storage D In order to do that every time you install something you have to use "custom" options or at least be sure you are choosing to install on D If you fail that you are failing the main porpoise for your SSD, and of course your small SSD would be full in 10 minutes. Also you should be sure to "move" all of the file folders - docs, pics, movies etc - permanently on D. You may also consider to modify the Temp variables in Win to point to a temp folder on D. This way your setting should be close to optimal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I've pretty much got that settled, but need to figure out how to get my temp files over to the storage drive. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
