Run program from HDD not SSD help

[xarik]

I've been destroying the forum with my stupid questions about SSD's and here another one !

I have an SSD with W7 on it and google chrome thus far...I want to load every program from here onto the HDD so that I don't keep filling up the SSD and put only a few other programs onto the SSD later...anyone know what to do to get this set up correctly? Both are inside of my laptop in the HDD bays

There are only certain programs that will let you change the install directory. You will have to uninstall and reinstall and see if the install directory can be changed.

Do a custom install for everything and normally they let you change the install directory.

You're telling me every time someone buys an ssd for a boot drive, they just don't download any more programs or manually install each one in a different drive?

Everything I download and install I do a custom install. If it's not a big application (only a few MB in size) then I leave it on the SSD. Otherwise I install it to one of my other 4 drives.

And it will install every part of the program from that drive and run off of there at the speed of that drive then? I'll prob do the opposite of you cuz I want larger programs to load fast =P

Well things like Photoshop, PaleMoon, etc.are installed on my SSD.

Yeah that's what I was thinking...was looking at a 120gb ssd (see my other post in HDDs to help me with that) so I can put more then my 60gb

Yeah 120GB is a good average. Crucial M4's are good and I also recommend the Intel 520 series 128GB drive.
