Does anyone know, with an SSD, can I have a small one to store OS and such, and still install programs to a separate HDD drive?

yes. you install the OS to the SSD, but when you want to install programs, you have to change their install directory to the standard hdd.

Awesome. Now I seem like an idiot. Haha. I guess it only has to be the stuff that doesn't rely so heavily on adding registry stuff and stuff to the windows folder. Thanks!

It still adds the registry entries, they're just changed to reflect where the program is installed to. It all works fine. I installed my OS onto a hard drive, then installed all of my games on a completely different hard drive.

I've got about 5 hard drives in my computer adding up to around 900 GB, and my brother has a terabyte drive; he's only using about 100 GB of it.
