smorizio :
On my 120g Ssd I have my os and main programs I use daily. New games and new apps go on the slower hd.
OK, thanks for all the help guys. I have posted this question before but no one answerd it yet. So i have my hdd in my comp now. I want to completely erase everything on it and use it as the storage device.
SO my question is do i format the HDD first, unplug it from the mobo, then install the SSD and the OS, then replug in the HDD. Or do I just unplug the HDD, install new SSD and OS. Then replug in new HDD and format it.
Also, before i do any of this, do i have to go into bios with the old HDD plunged in and change it to AHCI or do I go into bios right when i start comp with the new SSD and change it to AHCI.
Thanks for all the help. For some reason I am just utterly confused when it comes to SSD and its corresponding technology. Some forums say to do it one way while others tell you to do it differently.
