    Reinstall windows, pretty much only way of doing it. Don't format the HDD, just remove all the windows files afterwards. Why do you want the drivers on the SSD?

    Re: SSD question

    i was told that the loading speed would be better on the ssd for the OS plus i did the windows index and get 7.5,7.7,7.8,7.8 and 5.9 which is on the primary disk drive, I've had the SS for some weeks now and would very much like to use it to its full potential. how do i go about removing the windows files from the hard drive after reinstalling it on the SSD.

    Re: SSD question

    Just reinstall windows on the new drive, then delete all loval content on the old drive, do not format the old drive though. I asked why you wanted nvidia drivers on the ssd, not the OS, I have my OS, apps and games on my ssd.

    Re: SSD question

    Not really sure, but if it's an old install of windows just delete all the files on the C drive that are left over (assuming C is the drive letter of the old drive). You will have to reinstall programs I think, not sure.
