Maybe an easier question. Any tips or recommendations for setting up an external drive with the components I've listed? Thanks

Yes, I have a legal copy, WIN 7 64bit home edition OEM. I can use that program also, but have heard the there is better. i will probably try it out anyway. The program I listed above seems to have very good reviews on several sites and it is also free.

Here's what I will have in a few days. (ordered) StarTech SAT3510BU3 3.5" Black SuperSpeed USB 3.0 SATA Hard Drive Enclosure w/ Fan http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817707227 HITACHI Deskstar 7K1000.D HDS721010DLE630 (0F13180) 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal...

I read the links you guys posted, to be honest, that is WAY over my head. so frustrating

Heres a snip of my "Disk Management" screen, See anything out of the ordinary?

Thanks, I'll go read the link

What is "symbolic links? I guess I may have looked at it all wrong . I just assumed I could load the OS, then everything else on the HDD. In Disk management: My SSD has Healthy (Primary Partition) MY HHD has healthy ( Active Primary Partition) Normal?? Just went through the "Bootmgr missing"...
