OK rather noob at this. I'm not entirely sure what I'm asking so here goes :lol:
I recently installed Win7 Pro in my system with a SSD and a HDD, but I believe I've messed it up abit. I'm not entirely sure what I've done. I wanted the primary OS files on the SSD but both drives are showing as "Primary" and the HDD shows "system". When I hit the start button and left click computer only the SSD shows as Local Disk (C:). From noob knowledge it looks like I either only have the SSD in my system of both drives are combined? I only want the HDD for lesser programs and documents. Not sure if I'm missing something to show the second drive next to the SSD or what.
I've done plenty of installs on single drives so this is a new experience for me. Formatting has always been iffy for me but I'd like to learn. The drives are brand new only basic Ethernet drivers etc, so nothing I'm worried over losing. I've seen a few videos and post explaining multiple drives they seem to just rush and breeze through it. I'm one of those that needs step-by-step instructions when it comes to software :??:
Any help will be appreciated, even if it's just to say I'm over thinking it lol

If u installed OS (win7) only with ssd attached then it's no problem..

the easiest way to check is, disconnect your hdd and try boot up..
if the os (win7) is running fine then it's no problem and the OS is installed to SSD...
if it will not boot then the OS somehow installed to HDD..

I'm will suggest reinstall (clean install) OS to SSD if it's new..
and reformat the HDD latter...

remember to only connect ssd when installing OS, later connect the hdd after the system/win/os up and running
