Is this right?

So I just Re-installed windows 8, now I've made a folder in my HDD (D) called 'Windows8Docs' and made sub folders like 'my music" 'my documents' 'my photos' etc and now do I go on the left hand side and right click on Documents for example, and change the location to D/Windows8Docs/My Documents? Then do this to the rest?

What are you trying to do on the new installation ? Are you trying to have it automatically find your files or something ?

 

[Ashen__]

No I've just built this computer (SSD) C drive and (HDD) D drive, and just setting up file locations and such.

You don't really need to change it, windows wont care.

You don't really need to change it, windows wont care.

But won't the stuff be saved on the SSD? I want it to be stored on the HDD..

Ahhh.. I see now. You can just open up a window that has your document's and another one that has them where you want them to be and then click and drag them, it will copy them for you.

What about the way I explained it.. would that work though?

 

[royalcrown]

If you mean, click on it and just type in the new location it won't work like that. Maybe that is not what you mean and I am not understanding. If that is what you mean, then no, it won't.

Okay so how would you set up your HDD and SSD for like gaming? Or just personally.. I don't want to use my SSD much so I want to use my HDD for mainly everything else.. How do I accomplish that?

What i did was just move all my files to my second SSD. I have one for the OS and Apps and a smaller one I keep stuff on. I just made a folder on the second (storage) drive and clicked and dragged everything over using 2 windows. There are other ways to move stuff, but that is simple and it works.

So right now I have 2 (storage) drives SSD ad HDD. they're both fresh and my OS is on my SSD. My HDD has nothing on it.. So what should I put on my HDD to get it ready for personal use and gaming? (Like folders, etc)

 

[royalcrown]

Put the stuff you rarely use, rarely play or that doesen't need speed on the Hard drive and the Stuff you always play that NEEDS the speed on the ssd (like battlefield, farcry, etc

Just an idea...like you I have a documents folder, music folders, videos.

A really GOOD one to have on your HDD is a drivers folder..that way you don't need to go online to get drivers you may need if you reinstall your os.
