How do I transfer my OS to SDD but use HDD for everything else?

[Starsky776]

Hi, I just bought an Samsung SSD 120g.

Currently I have a 1tb HDD with everything on it. I kinda need a step by step of how to just boot up my OS from the SDD but almost everything else from my HDD (except a few games). The problem is when I go to make a "clone" I do not have enough space (it's not even close). Additionally, I do not have my original OS software so I cant start fresh, it must have been lost when I moved.

So is there a way to just clone my OS and always boot it up?

I'm just learning about SDDs and what it can do for me so please be patient. Any help is appreciated!!

You lost your Windows installation disks, huh? Well, if you have a legal copy installed, the PC should have a COA sticker on it somewhere with a product key. Download the Windows ISO file and burn it to disk. That will make a Windows installation disk. You can use the COA's Product key to validate Windows after installation.
