So, i'm moving to a 120gb Sandisk Extreme II SSD in the very near future...

I'm new to SSD's and the overal upgrade process with them... so i could use some help here...

Can somebody show me the way to properly learn how to do the following:

I want to take my current main HDD, transfer my windows 7 and Dxtory to the SSD breaking the least amount of stuff in the process.

My original HDD will be just for holding on to my files and the SSD is mainly for booting windows, Sony Vegas and Writing the video files from Dxtory as i record my games...

This is the dream scenario for me, but i'm not too sure on how to go about the best way of doing that, without needing to full wipe everything everywhere... so, your help would be much apprecaited.

There is only 1 software that will move just windows to an SSD and leave everything else working on the HDD. its called Migrate OS to SSD by paragon software and its not free.

The other options are :
1: reduce the size of the current installation (by uninstalling and deletinig things) until its small enough to fit on the SSD and then clone the hdd to the ssd.
or
2: install everything all over again, selecting where you want to install too, hdd or ssd.
Please note that when you install windows, the SSD should be the only drive besides an optical drive in the system.
