This is my first computer build and and I have a Samsung SSD and a WD caviar black HDD. I was wondering how to boot from the SSD but have my files on the other one. Thanks

Use data migration software to transfer your files from one drive to another. Here's an example of one. You can search further to find others.

Did you install your OS on the SSD? If so, all you gotta do is right click on your document folders (My Docs, Music, Video, Download, etc), go to Properties and change the target/location to your HDD. It will leave everything looking the same, but move all your folders to your HDD. I highly recommend!

Cheers!
