Help with accessing programs/steam games on a different drive? SSD-HDD

[Mettrone]

Hello friends,

So I recently bought my first SSD the 120GB Kingston V+200. I am using it as a boot drive for windows 7 while my 1Tb HDD will be used for pretty much all the files for everything.

An example would be having Itunes on my SSD but all the music on the HDD or having steam on my SSD but having all the games on the HDD. I do not like the idea of having to install every program I wish to use again onto my SSD (as they are already on my HDD).

Small things such as Google Chrome, it (and all the user files) are already on my HDD so how would I go about being able to access my HDD Google Chrome and all the bookmarks, passwords, user etc on it?

I bought the SSD thinking that I could be able to access all programs already on the HDD while booting from my SSD, (i.e going into start menu typing 'VLC' and it coming up with the VLC media player) is there a way to do this? as like I have stated earlier I do not wish to reinstall all my programs.

Also the predicment with team games, how would I go about making it so they are playable off the HDD (where they are already installed and downloaded) while booting from the SSD?

Any help what so ever would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Alex

To my knowledge, you can't

I have a 240GB Corsair SSD and I have my OS, Steam, and applications on it with room to spare

Then I just store all my pictures, music, and documents on my HDD.

For iTunes, you can just install the program on your SSD, then click "add folder to library" and select your music folder from the HDD

You might as well install most of your applications on the ssd. you'll get faster loading times with them, etc.

Just keep all files to the HDD

It would require a lot of annoying system links.

What I recommend, is something that I do on my gaming rig: One SSD (64Gb) for Windows, with all the user files (Music, Movies, Docs, etc) on a spinning HD and with Steam, have it installed on the second 64Gb SSD and then have very popular games load off the SSD, while others just go to another mechanical HD.

Might give you a few ideas?
